Hello! I'm scheduled for surgery later this month and will be going home shortly after the procedure is done. What will I need at home to help with the recovery process? Will I be okay on my own, or will I need a "babysitter" for the first few days? Thanks!

I will ask that question during my pre-op class. My surgeon told me overnight stays are only for those who have complications during surgery. We shall see.

I was sleeved on February 9th and my procedure was outpatient as well. It was done at a center of excellence. I checked in at 6 am and was home by 4 pm the same day. Many sleeves are performed as outpatient procedures if you feel the need to stay over night that shouldn't be a problem. They do the leak test and everything the same day. Yes, you will need someone home with you for the first couple of days but the first night I was so drugged that all I did was sleep. Sending positive vibes and healing your way on surgery day- congrats Congrats to you as well!! I will make sure I have some friends on duty for after care. Thank you!!

Good to know @@rking Thanks! My surgery is scheduled for 11:30am and I was told that I would be headed home by 3pm. Crazy, I know.
