I have 3 young kids and I Know I have a bit to go before surgery, but how long will I be in the hospital if I have no complications?

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.

Checked in for surgery at about 0600 Wednesday the 21st, Spent 2 nights there and was released around 1200 on Friday the 23rd.

Thank y'all so much for the feedback and responses.

I spent one night. Had surgery at 1 pm, was home the next day by 1 pm....24 hours well worth it.

My surgery was Wednesday at 8:30am and did not leave till Saturday afternoon.

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!

I am also in UNY! Where did you get yours done?

Had my RNY on Monday at 1 pm and went home Tuesday at 10 am. I drank 80 oz of water overnight and did 30 laps around the entire floor. I was motivated to go home!

Another Northern NYer! We should form a band!
