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!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
