I didn't think to ask was the surgery outpatient. Did anyone go home the same day?

Its not likely with the sleeve...its usually 1-3 days minimum. I was in for 2 and had absolutely no complications. Recovery was really quick too.

There are some people floating around here that were out patient... But I'd say most people stay in the hospital 2 days.

I think I've only read of one person who went home the same day -- I believe the majority of people at least stay over night. If there are other things 'fixed' during surgery, like band damage, or a hernia,or gallbladder removal, then it's possible there would be an extra day in hospital. And of course, if there are any complications they should keep you.

I know in the seminar the doctor said the sooner you're released the faster you'll heal. But he never said if he keep you at least one night. I'm putting all my ducks.in a row. I'm hoping they'll be calling with a date for the first week of June

With my hospital it's 1-2 nights. I ended up being there 2 nights due to having a later surgery & not getting setup in my room until later. Normally I would have been scrambling to get out of there after 1 night, but honestly I was ok with the 2.

I checked in at 5:30am on a Monday and went home at 2pm Tuesday. No problems. They made sure I could keep down Protein Drink and go pee and let me go home.

My surgeon just keeps you for 23 hours, so overnight but technically outpatient.

I stayed 3 days, 2 nights. My copay for my surgery was not for an out patient procedure

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
