Two days but I felt like I was ready to go home after the first day.

My surgery was at 8am and I was out at 8-9pm the next day. They said I would have left a bit earlier but my potassium was high so they kept me around a few more hours.

My surgery was on @ 7:15 a.m. Monday, June 20th, and I was discharged late afternoon Wednesday. Ask your surgeon about this.

I had surgery on a Wednesday at 10am. I didn't have any pain meds or anything during surgery so they pumped me full of them at the end. Took about 18 hours for me to come out of anesthesia. Got a really good nap in :-)

I would have gone home Friday, but I had a UTI, so I got iv antibiotics, and was cleared to go home Saturday.

I would ask your surgeon what the average time is, and then prepare for an extra day or two for anything unseen happening. Good luck!

      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?
