Re: Hospital stay..how long??

[Guest guest]

I had Lap RNY on 3/10. My surgery was on a Wednesday at 8:30 a.m. and I was

home by noon on Friday. Just walk, walk, walk and they had me use a breathing

type machine (it was plastic. you inhale and make a little blue ball go as

far up to the top of the machine as you can.) to make sure my lungs were okay.

I was back to work 5 weeks later. Physically I felt great and wanted to go

back to work after week 2, but you really need time to get use to your new

eating pattern and taking all your supplements. So don't rush it. In

retrospect,

I'm definitely glad I took 5 weeks.

Good Luck!

My surgery was on a Wednesday morning and I was to be discharged Thursday

morning after passing the leak test. I asked to stay another night since I live

200 miles away.

I had Lap RNY on 5/18 and I am reading writing this from work right

now. I had my surgery at 3:00pm on Tuesday the 18th, was back home

on Thursday by dinner. I feel great and am down almost 20 pounds.

Yes, walk walk walk. It makes everything easier.

Good Luck indeed...
