Are you staying overnight at the hospital. I just had my RNY after my lap band removed 8 months prior. I was pretty wiped and stayed an extra day for more rest. I think the 5 hour trip if you recovered adequately should not be a problem. Good luck.

I had my RNY 5 days ago. My only complication, was with anesthesia because I got subcutaneous air in the tissue around my face and should. I had been pre-warned of the complications , looked my head was a basket ball with 2 slits for eyes. My difficulty is keeping hydrated has because of my sleepiness. I have more energy and hope Caryou fine

I am on Day 4 of clear liquid diet because surgery is on Oct 3. I really wanted to know what others when you need to grocery shop and cook for your families. I have been working but now have 2 days off to get chores done and am worry about keeping to the diet.

Hi, I am also on my pre-op diet (surgery 10/3). Are you on a clear liquid diet 7 days prior to surgery? My doctor has me on one and it is very hard. I think it is to prep me for post surgery and the diet needed after along with shrinking my liver. I find keeping fluids with me 24/7 will help but I am only on day 2. I did have some small slips last week with my low carb diet but felt I had to just do better and I did.

Interesting to here what people in the countries have to do for insurance coverage. Yes, in the USA there are many different insurance programs and weight loss programs. I am lucky that mine is covered. The hardest part of my program was the hoops you have to jump prior to qualifying for surgery; mental health screen, sleep study, physical by your primary care, dietitian consultation, support groups and then healthy eating classes. Do you folks have the same requirements? I just joined the forum and have my surgery scheduled for next week.
