How long is the hospital stay?

I finally got approved for my revision to be banded on 2/25/13. I am just curious how long the hospital stay will be? I received a packet in the mail about the surgery, but its leading me to believe I will be going home that day??? Could that be right?

What are you revising from? Some have lapband placed as a out patient some Doctors like you to stay over night.Unless you are revising from another surgery then the stay may be longer

Roux-en-y was my original surgery 10 yrs ago. 

I was self pay and was outpatient.

Got there at 6:30 for a 7:30 procedure and home around noon.  Easy, Peasy, Mac and cheesy for me.

i was driving the next afternoon because I did not need pain meds.

Wow that's great!!! How long ago was your surgery?

My surgery was in June of 2009 so almost 4 years ago.

I have a clotting issue so I had to stay for 3 days, but otherwise probably could have gone home the same day or the next day at most. Not a difficult surgery as surgeries go.

I am sorry to hear that! I am really shocked at the thought of going home the same day. My first surgery I was in 3-5 days. I'm not sure.

I was kept overnight also because I was severely dehydrated and they felt I was a fall risk.  Since I live by myself the doctor felt  that was a problem.  So until I got my fluids back to normal I had to stay.  I also had to wear this fall risk tag!!!  Thankfully it took only over night and several bags of of fluid to get me hydrated again. 

But I think I dehydrate when there is a trauma to my body, because I had the same problem after having my daughter.

Are you doing Bob (band over bypass) or taking down your RNY and doing a straight out band?
