and is the bypass more serious and intense

Yes seems they rushed you out. But on the other hand I think if your a good pt. and all is well it's good they pushed you out. staying long in the hospital makes the risk higher for infectious diseases. Cdiff is the main one

Wow I didn't know extended hospital stays can be a risk

Yes there are a lot of germs and they are where you least expect them to be. For example nurses arms where gloves don't cover. Floors, walls, basically where anyone has touched without gloves on.

I had RNY gastric bypass 3 years ago. I was in the hospital for 2 days. I walked every 2 hours around the clock. I passed gas which was an important requirement in order to return home. I had constant care. I was given Water to sip or ice shavings. Your experiences do not seem like the normal care given for this operation.

I just had RNY 4 months ago and would have been able to go home in 24 hours if I didn't have really bad nausea on the 2nd day, I went home on day 3.
