It was just fine for me, personally I prefer to heal at home- hospitals freak me out! My dr was about 2 hours away so he asked that I stay at a hotel near him for 2 nights just in case something went wrong-- which I did and it was fine. I love my dr and would use him a million times over. He saved me SO much money by doing that. My surgery was $9800 total and that was all appts included- he even came and checked on me at the hotel :)

I had mine at a same day surgery center in Coos Bay, Oregon. Check in 8 am, walked out at 2:30 in the afternoon feeling a bit out of it, but OK. I live about 1 hour away, so went home for the night (in my own bed with my doggies). Went back the next morning for leak test and routine IV fluids. Then the day after that I went back again to have my drain pulled and officially 'released'. No regrets. I would much rather be at home than in a hospital.

Mine was done outpatient at a hospital;. Checked in at 9 am was home by 6. After surgery they did an upper GI to check for leaks and then sent me on my way.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
