Hospital stay for Gastric Bypass?

[AdoptedTexan 3]

Just wondering how long on average is the hospital stay after surgery?

(I understand everyone is different, just wondering)

I was in the hospital for 2 nights. I was ready to go back home after 1.

The weekend staff at a hospital is different than the weekday staff. I had my surgery on Friday. I would have been better off scheduling it for the early or mid part of the week, in which case I might have gone home after a 1 nights stay.

Everyone is different. I was up and walking every two hours after surgery, round the clock. I took no pain meds after I left the recovery room. Didn't need to. Others crawled out of their hospital beds for the first time a couple days after surgery. They tended to stay longer.

I've heard 2-3 nights.

I stayed 3 nights, which I was happy about. I was especially glad to have the IV in so I didn't have to worry about or risk dehydration right after surgery. I also had no nausea or pain as it was very well managed in the hospital.

I actually just posted this a couple days ago but I guess I posted in the wrong section...

But my nurse told me I will most likely be staying over night! My surgery is scheduled for 12:30pm, and I'll probably check out around 8am the next morning.


Kind of panicking because I'm not sure that's enough time!!
