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

My RNY is Oct. 3.

Quite amazing what you guys have to go through, none of that for me if I go down the self paying road, I just need one more appointment with my surgeon and dietician before the surgery, that's it... if I was getting the surgery with insurance might be more requirements I don't know but probably not as much as you guys in the USA have to do that's for sure, but I don't want to wait the minimum 12 months with insurance, so will pay for it myself.
Just a very hard logistical exercise to work out when to do it... due to being away from home for work, and away from where the surgery will be also, and between moving soon to another location lol... very tricky logistically.
