My doctor/nurse indicated that I would be out of the hospital the third day.

The doctor indicated I would be out of work for 2 weeks, the nurse indicated

more like 4 to 6 weeks. So which is it? Can I get some feedback from you guys

on your hospital length of stay and time off from work? I am a workaholic and

I'll go crazy if it's 6 weeks....LOL

Hi everyone, my name is and I live in Fort Lauderdale,

Florida. I had Lap RNY on 8/21/03, so I'm a newbie still. So far I've

lost about 20 pounds. I have my first post op appt next week so I'll

know the exact number by then.

Overall this experience has been good so far. The first few days

afterwards were not too pleasant but I paid close attention to

doctors orders and I was released from the hospital on the fourth

day. I was thrilled to go home and each day feel better and better.

I'm still on protein shakes and liquids for the most part. I look

forward to different flavors again next week when I go to soft

solids.

It's great to read everyone's posts in here and I look forward to

learning alot from those of you that have had this procedure done

longer.

I stayed for 3 days. Shoot in 2 weeks I was back at the gym. 3 days seems

more realistic. Barring no complications.

Hi Carol,

The length of hospital stay depends on if you had LAP RNY or OPEN.

LAP(which I had) you're in the hospital 3 days (my surgery was on

Friday, 7/18/03 and I went home on Monday, 7/21 at noon). Open is

usually around 5 days, I believe.

As for time off, it depends on what you do, but I have a desk job

and I've been out 6 weeks so far and won't be going back until

around 8 weeks. Don't fret, I wanted to be out this long. My

doctor wants each patient out a minimum of 6 weeks, due to the fact

you need to get use to your new system and your new eating habits.

She's had patients go back 2 - 3 weeks after surgery only to be back

to their old ways of eating and they have lots of problems. For me,

I wanted the break from work. I have a high pressure job, which I

love, but knowing I was having the surgery during the summer I said

what the heck, enjoy the time off. It's the only time I'll have

time off to myself without having a baby (I'm single with no kids).

Just talk with your surgeon about what he/she recommends about

taking time off. I'm sure they'll listen to your concerns and maybe

you can compromise. A lot of people on this site don't stay out as

long as I have. Again, it depends on your surgeon and your schedule.

Good luck!!

Hi Carol

I am fresh out of surgery it was on 8/25/03 and my next doctor's appointment

is in two weeks and then I will see if he gives me the go ahead to return to

work, I have a sit down type of job so I won't have any stress on my body

there. I stayed in the hospital only 3 days the 25 to the 28 and had no

complications. The hospital stay was relaxing except for the barium test and

the

methalyne blue ink test, and oops almost forgot when they removed my drain

tubing

that was freaky to say the least and it hurt a little too.
