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

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.

      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! 😞
