It all really depends on the surgeon and if its Open or Lap.  My surgeon only requires 24hrs and I had mine Lap.  I would call and ask your surgeon what he/she requires.

Hi! I had my lap RNY on a Wednesday and came home on a Saturday. I was in a day or 2 longer than normal because the day after my surgery, I was moved to ICU due to sugars in excess of 600. Once they got them down and stable, I was moved back and everything was back to normal.

It does depend on open or lap and your surgeons requirements.  My surgeon requires a 2 night stay for open (he does not do lap at all) and I stayed 3 nights because I was going to be about 90 minuites away from the hospital when I left.  I went to stay with my aunt so I would have constant care and she was a post op herself.

Totally different for everyone. I was in for 7 nights, but that's because I had some complications. But everyone is different. And it was totally worth it!
