Does anyone's hospital/practice have a protocol called ENHANCED RECOVERY AFTER BARIATRIC SURGERY (ERAS Bariatric)? I'm curious.

Thanks in advance

Yup... my hospital even has a website on their page regarding it https://www.baptistjax.com/services/enhanced-recovery

Mine does also!

Yes, mine did as well.

Mine did since it was a designated CoE (Circle of Excellence) hospital for bariatric surgery.

Thank you! My hospital has that same designation, and I had wondered if the ‘Center of Excellence’ notation and the ERAS protocol went hand in hand.
Thanks again.

Mine has it, though I didn't know about it. They started using it in 2017? Who knew?

I'm so happy I found this post. I just had my pre-op appointment and my surgeon informed me he uses Gabapentin before surgery for pain control along with a pain blocker they use before recovery after surgery. I've honestly been wondering if I should cancel the surgery because I have a low tolerance to any pain on top of my 10-year RA diagnosis. Please, can anyone tell me how this new strategy worked for you?
