Hey Bob,
I work in a WLS center, but I also had Roux-en-Y in May 2007.
We always recommend our patients stay in a hotel in town for the first 24-48 hours.
Of course, we can't demand that, but I think it would give you more ease of mind if you did, at least your first night out. Best of luck to you!
Feel free to contact me anytime with questions.
Pam





Thanks Pam! Dr. Richards said I probably would be in the hospital 2 nights post-op, provided everything went OK. I could probably stay in a hotel there for another night. I will probably be contacting you with some more questions! You should definitely be able to answer from both sides of the issue!!
