Was anyone sleeved outpatient?

I had an internal bleed so I was in the hospital for 4 days and needed 3 blood transfusions.

I would rethink this. It's too risky.

I was sleeved outpatient on Sept 8, 2014. Then stayed overnight in the hotel, went back in the morning for fluids and a recheck and my hubby drove me home. I did great and still am doing great! I never 2nd guessed my doctors capabilities. Dr. Billings is amazing and I trust him 100%. I've also had several other surgeries that were day surgeries. So, it really wasn't an issue with me at all. I checked in at 6 am and was released by 7 pm. The only reason I stayed so late was because I always tend to over sleep the anesthesia. It was a great nap. Ha ha!

I could hardly tolerate a drop of Water first day, I was kept on iv fluids for 24 hours. Had swallow study to check leak next day and then went home. I did not have vomiting next day, and could tolerate some fluids.

Mine was outpatient as well. I think my surgery was around 9:30-10am and I was home by 8pm (I live a little over an hr away from the hospital) I was very fortunate though and had no pain of any kind. I went in knowing I was going to have outpatient surgery, but they told us ahead of time it's possible we might have to stay depending on how we're doing afterwards.

Best of luck!!!

I was "outpatient". I went in at 7am on Wednesday but released at 3pm the next day. That was considered outpatient. I can't fathom why, but...

Surgery about 9a and driving home @4p. No big deal..

I was an outpatient at a small surgical center that seems pretty much devoted to WLS related procedures (I had my upper endoscopy there too). In at 6 a.m. and released 23 hours later. The center had multiple large recliners, which is where I spent all of my post op time when I wasn't circling the nurses desk or walking to the bathroom.
