Hospital stay after surgery....



Recommended Posts

I had surgery at 10am on Monday, 27 June and was on my way home at 1pm Tuesday. I was up walking on Monday, and my catheter was removed in recovery- also no drain for me. I was very lucky in all facets of this surgery.

I had my surgery yesterday at 11. I didn't wake up until midnight. Was up in chair and walking at 4am. My only pain medication had been every 4 hours tylenol

Forgot to say the surgeon may release me tomorrow. In addition to rNY I apparently had a large hiatal hernia the he repaired. I'm really not that sore today

My surgeon required the same stay for all his patients, which is rather long in comparison to most I think. I was in there with two of my friends from Options classes (a Kaiser thing). We all had the RNY.

The first had hers on Monday and was out on Thursday. The second has hers on Tuesday and was out on Friday. I had mine on Wednesday and was out by Saturday. So that's 4 days, give or take.

My surgery was on 8/22 and I would have gone home the 24th but we were having a problem controlling my nausea. Went home the 25 and quit taking pain meds - nausea went away as soon as I gave up the pain pills

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
