Surgery Thursday

So, I know they give 2 days for recovery in the hospital. Is the day of surgery concidered a day? I am having lap RNY surgery Thursday, will I go home Friday or Saturday? Thanks, Carlanae

it depends on how well you do....and since it is the week end they some times try to clear as many out of the hospital as possible you may go home Friday. Jan

My surgeon's schedule is that you are there for two nights.  Day 1- Surgery, Day 2- Leak Tests and Day 3- early morning discharge.  I can't imagine going home on Day 2, I needed that extra few hours to settle in to taking in some fluids beyond the IV, starting to pee without the catheter and weening off the pain pump.

Different docs do different things. I went in early morning on Tuesday and was out of surgery by Noon and in my room. Went home by 3 p.m. on Wednesday after having leak test and leaking, etc. Hope this helps. Good luck. Scott
