Melanie757 36 Posted May 3, 2013 I didn't think to ask was the surgery outpatient. Did anyone go home the same day? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KimmieMarie 17 Posted May 3, 2013 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
No game 14,437 Posted May 3, 2013 There are some people floating around here that were out patient... But I'd say most people stay in the hospital 2 days. 1 melodymouse reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Momonanomo 534 Posted May 3, 2013 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Melanie757 36 Posted May 3, 2013 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andi 78 Posted May 3, 2013 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Linkin 8 Posted May 4, 2013 My surgeon just keeps you for 23 hours, so overnight but technically outpatient. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
