Crazy, that happened so fast, I got approved in 3 days and scheduled for the following month. I was just praying for a date before December 31st so my OOP didn't start all over again. It doesn't seem real and I feel like I forgot everything I've been studying about the last six months and have a gazillion questions again LOL

I think I was authorized for 1 day in the hospital. Seriously, is that possible, one day? I go in at 5am for check in, paperwork and surgery. Then recovery, an overnight and then they ship me out? I had my gall bladder out last November and was in for three days.

Is it really that fast and in and out? It kind of freaks me out that most of my stomach is going to get cut out but they're sending me off on my drugged up merry way so soon ??!!

I had RNY and I know I am a tough cookie (really). I think everyone responds differently and unexpectedly to their own unique procedure. Prepare for the worst and hope for the best. Have a back-up plan. I stayed ONE day and for me it was a huge mistake. I should have stayed the extra day. Listen to the cues your body gives you. You get no award or ribbon for gritting your teeth and struggling if you need that extra day. I think had I spent the extra day in hospital I would have ultimately had a faster recovery rate in general. Just listen to your body at the time. You may be great after 24 hours but there is no shame in an extra day if you need it. Good Luck!

Hi I had surgery on Monday and did everything I could to leave on Thursday evening. Believe me you will feel happier at home with family. Three days after surgery I'm feeling much better. Best wishes to you.
