Yes, approved and I start my preop diet June 28th. I go for pre-admission testing on June 27th and then pre-open clearance with my surgeon on July 5th. I hope your approval comes soon!

I stayed two nights.  The first night for me was NPO.  It really is surgeon dependent.  I've known other sleeve patients that have had it outpatient.

I follow a ketogenic diet post-op. I also have a diagnosis of binge eating disorder. Feel free to ask me about either!

My Center usually keeps the patients hospitalized for 2 days.  There can be patients they keep longer if necessary.

I just had the bypass last Thursday and was sent home the next morning. I was so ready to get the heck out of there. I got no sleep in the hospital.  I usually really like hospitals which I know is weird but I wanted to go home so bad. Everything was totally fine going home that soon.  You will do great. I wouldn't worry about only one night and then home.

thanks for all of your replies. Feel a little better about everything now. Nerves are at ease because they were scrambling all around for the past few days. ;-) how is everyone doing? What would be your best advice to give to someone pre-op before they start this journey? Anything you learned or wish you had known before surgery that you know now?
