I stayed 2 nights...and was grateful for it...but that 3rd morning I was ready to go home and see my son! We had been apart before longer than that but man I guess hospitals and surgery made me miss him even more! 

You'll do great! 

Best Wishes!

 I'm the outlier here-- 6 days; open RNY with scarring.  My initial insurance approval was for two days, but the utillization review team at the hospital kept on top of that.-- I used to do utilization review, so I know how that works.  As long at it is medically necessary (IV meds, IV fluids, not meeting criteria for discharge) you will get insurance approval for additional days.

What they look for is: are you off IVs?  on oral pain meds and tolerating them?  eating? (even minimally)? able to urinate and move your bowels (or at least, pass gas)?
No fever, no signs of infection?

4 days for me. Stomach cancer was found during the surgery and a portion of my stomach was removed so i was kept an extra day for observation.

 Wow!  WLS may have literally saved your life.  Glad you're ok.

Surgery weight:  232 lbs. / Goal: 145 lbs. Height:  5'5"     Fat? Ain't nobody got time for that.
