My Surgery is like 72hours away.  How long does univ of missoui keep you after RNY (Dr Rams.)??  Somewhere I thought i read if you had sleep apnea )Cpap) for spent first night in ICU.  Anyone give me  insight??

At the seminar they said you would be in 2 days for a RNY. Don't know anything about the CPAP. Good luck !!!

How exciting - your surgery is almost here!!!!  As far as how long you stay, that varies a bit by doctor and surgery type.  I had lap RNY, so I did not have to stay in ICU and only spent 2 days I think in the hospital.  Those who have open often have to stay in ICU and stay a day or so longer.  But, it seems those protocols are different by doctor and/or hospital and sometimes just over time they change what they do.

Hi there, I had my surgery 12/12/07 and I didn't have the cpap machine but the sleep apnea and I went to the ICU for 1 day. I was supposed to go to the bypass patient floor after that, but they had no bed for me (at Depaul), so I was there the whole two days. They were great and they're very attentive. Connie
