Hi, I am new to this forum. I am from Australia. I am having Gastric Bypass next week on the 19th June. I have been on Pre op diet since the 31st May. Going well at the moment. Feeling nervous and excited.

Welcome to June RNY Buddies! You're doing great with weight loss already. That's a long pre-op diet. There are several of us with dates right around you. Keep checking back. Sending you all the best for next week. I'm a mix of nervous and excited too! <3

Learning how to respond, not used to forums. I had to start early because my liver was 24cm and not the preferred 16cm. Surgeon recommended to extend diet. I am having Optifast x 3 meals, plus diet jelly for snack and certain vegetables 2-3 cups a day.

Wow! Home already? That’s really fast. No time to observe or make sure your ready it seems like. I think we should get a couple nights in to verify all is good a couple days out.

I agree, that was super fast. I know here in Connecticut you have a mandatory overnight stay of at least 1 night for the sleeve and at least 2 for the bypass. I thought this was standard everywhere but now I’ve seen twice this month alone people leaving after a day. Praying speedy recoveries for everyone

Staying one night at the hospital was the plan the doctor decided. I couldn't be in that room another day lol.

Don’t be, you’ve got this! Sending positive vibes your way. Keep us posted!

Whew! It has been a long day! Everything went well, and all I can say is stay in front of the pain. I dont think I was mentally prepared for how much it would hurt. But walking and moving definitely helps.
