I had my surgery on Monday, June 25th at 11:20 A.M. and by choice stayed 3 nights. I loved the pampering and amazing nurses and knew my kids were in great shape with grandparents. Once I was at home, I knew it would be all me taking care of me so I loved the extra stay at the hospital to hydrate with Fluid bags and heal.

I have two littles myself. My mom took them Monday night into Tuesday. My surgery was Tuesday morning. My husband got them back on Tuesday night. I stayed in the hospital alone all day Wednesday (all I was really doing was sleeping and walking anyway) and they picked me up Thursday morning

I think it depends on where you are. Here in Connecticut you are required to stay at least 2 days for bypass. I had my bypass after 4:30pm 6/28/18 and was discharged from the hospital 10:30am 6/30/18

My surgeon says because of my age I will be on for 3 days. Stay tuned until Septemberand we will see if he is correct!

I’m 34 and in upstate Ny. I had my surgery at 11:00am Tuesday and was released by 12:00pm Thursday. Honestly, I did not think I was quite ready to go home but man did how I felt rapidly improve once I was!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
