Surgery date: October 17...Is 1 day in the hospital enough?

1 day is enough provided your bladder wakes up mine didn’t until late the day after, was very close to being required to stay another night

I had RNY and I know I am a tough cookie (really). I think everyone responds differently and unexpectedly to their own unique procedure. Prepare for the worst and hope for the best. Have a back-up plan. I stayed ONE day and for me it was a huge mistake. I should have stayed the extra day. Listen to the cues your body gives you. You get no award or ribbon for gritting your teeth and struggling if you need that extra day. I think had I spent the extra day in hospital I would have ultimately had a faster recovery rate in general. Just listen to your body at the time. You may be great after 24 hours but there is no shame in an extra day if you need it. Good Luck!

Hi I had surgery on Monday and did everything I could to leave on Thursday evening. Believe me you will feel happier at home with family. Three days after surgery I'm feeling much better. Best wishes to you.
