On the other hand , I was only,in 2 days for a knee replacement and I will be able to walk better with this one. Stay tuned my bari-friends- for that answer will be given soon! I was there for two nights. I was discharged a bit late in the day because they gave me an extra liter of fluids before I left as I was a bit dehydrated. I think it depends on the doctor and the hospital. I am scheduled for Sept 10 and they said 2 nights, released on the 3 day. I had my RNY surgery on May 15th at am.
I was up walking after surgery at 2pm on tuesday. I was in the hospital two nights but I needed a second surgery because I started hemmoraging and needed a blood transfusion.
I may have gotten to leave in one night if it wasn't for the second surgery. I'm getting a chance to do it so you know I'll do it well. I was at the hospital for about 24 hours. My case started around AM and I was out the next day before Noon. They kept me in there until they saw I was able to hydrate myself. You need to be a member in order to leave a comment.

If not you should be at this point. If you are already on reflux meds get in touch with your surgeon asap as this is not normal. If fact i would be getting in touch with the surgeon either way.
I hope your issue is resolved and you feel better soon. By deardarkling Started 3 hours ago. By Sleevedupgirl Started 12 hours ago. By EllieV Started 17 hours ago. By Lisa LoVuolo Started 19 hours ago.

The smaller food portions will increase weight loss. Many bariatric patients are recommended c hewable multivitamins initially following surgery in order to prevent common deficiencies.
Protein supplements are also consumed to reach daily protein goals when it is difficult to consume food sources of protein. These numbers are pretty promising, considering that such rapid weight loss is almost impossible to achieve without a bariatric procedure. As for long-term results, many patients have been able to maintain loss of excess weight for as long as 15 years after the surgery. For most bariatric patients, gastric bypass surgery actually increases life expectancy.
Your stomach can expand in order to accommodate food. When the stomach expands to a certain extent, the brain will signal that you are full. When you feel the pressure of being full, even if you only took a few bites, stop eating. If you continue eating, your stomach can stretch temporarily.
If you are overeating on a regular basis, even when your brain is signaling you to stop, your fullness and hunger senses can become skewed. If you continue through the overeating cycle after bariatric surgery, it can lead to a stretched stomach. Some may experience weight regain and decreased weight loss. In that case, a gastric bypass revision might be recommended. However, typically insurance will cover most bariatric surgery procedures.
If you want to start losing weight again after your gastric bypass procedure, you can follow a pouch reset diet to get back on track. This includes food consumption similar to the diet in the initial months following surgery. While you can do this diet on your own, it is highly recommended to seek medical guidance from a qualified healthcare professional, such as a Registered Dietitian. The laparoscope is inserted through small incisions in the abdomen.
The tiny camera on the tip of the laparoscope allows the surgeon to see and operate inside your abdomen without making the traditional large incisions. Laparoscopic surgery can make your recovery faster and shorter, but it's not suitable for everyone.
Surgery usually takes several hours. After surgery, you awaken in a recovery room, where medical staff monitors you for any complications.
Depending on your procedure, you may need to stay a few days in the hospital. Each type of bariatric surgery has pros and cons. Be sure to talk to your doctor about them. Here's a look at common types of bariatric surgery:. Roux-en-Y roo-en-wy gastric bypass. This procedure is the most common method of gastric bypass.
This surgery is typically not reversible. It works by decreasing the amount of food you can eat at one sitting and reducing absorption of nutrients. The surgeon cuts across the top of your stomach, sealing it off from the rest of your stomach. The resulting pouch is about the size of a walnut and can hold only about an ounce of food. Normally, your stomach can hold about 3 pints of food.
Then, the surgeon cuts the small intestine and sews part of it directly onto the pouch. Food then goes into this small pouch of stomach and then directly into the small intestine sewn to it. Food bypasses most of your stomach and the first section of your small intestine, and instead enters directly into the middle part of your small intestine.
Sleeve gastrectomy. This smaller stomach can't hold as much food. It also produces less of the appetite-regulating hormone ghrelin, which may lessen your desire to eat.
Advantages to this procedure include significant weight loss and no rerouting of the intestines. Sleeve gastrectomy also requires a shorter hospital stay than most other procedures. Biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch. This is a two-part surgery in which the first step involves performing a procedure similar to a sleeve gastrectomy. The second surgery involves connecting the end portion of the intestine to the duodenum near the stomach duodenal switch and biliopancreatic diversion , bypassing the majority of the intestine.
This surgery both limits how much you can eat and reduces the absorption of nutrients. While it is extremely effective, it has greater risk, including malnutrition and vitamin deficiencies. Which type of weight-loss surgery is best for you depends on your specific situation. Your surgeon will take many factors into account, including body mass index, eating habits, other health issues, previous surgeries and the risks involved with each procedure.
After weight-loss surgery, you generally won't be allowed to eat for one to two days so that your stomach and digestive system can heal. Then, you'll follow a specific diet for a few weeks.
The diet begins with liquids only, then progresses to pureed, very soft foods, and eventually to regular foods. You may have many restrictions or limits on how much and what you can eat and drink. You'll also have frequent medical checkups to monitor your health in the first several months after weight-loss surgery.
You may need laboratory testing, blood work and various exams.
