Call and ask your surgeon. It all depends on your doctor.  I had VBG revision to RNY last Thursday.  I was able to come home Friday around noon.  Too many variables, my roommate in the hospital had a low grade fever and could not come home until fever broke.    Good luck to you.

I stayed in the hospital one night.  I don't know how long you'll stay, though.  Your surgeon could answer that better than I can.

Most surgeons want an EGD done before they schedule surgery.

Two nights for me, and four was originally planned.  The faster you get up and start walking, the quicker they seem to be to let you.   I went back after 2 1/2 weeks, but three to four weeks seems to be the norm.

Surgery is Tuesday and I was told I would be released on Friday.  Maybe I'll get out early for good behavior?
