That seems really quick to me, but I know from reading on here that it does happen. As long as surgery goes smoothly and you have some support at home it should not be an issue. I personally would have stayed in the hospital for a week if they let me, but that is just because of my love of nurses!

:D

I had my surgery on an outpatient basis - in admitting at 6:00 am and out by noon. Got to recover in the comfort of the condo we rented. We had the route to the nearest ER mapped out and I had the personal cell # of the surgeon in case of an emergency. I was a little concerned at first, but made peace with it prior to surgery. My local bariatric doc was concerned, too - she keeps people 3 days. My surgeon's reputation and history helped me make the final decision.

I had outpatient surgery. In at 7 am and out by noon. I too was concerned, but felt it to be a positive experience, especially since my surgeon is top in his field with zero

fatalities and leaks. The key is making sure to get up EVERY 2 hours to walk 15 minutes for the first 48 hours. It will make all the difference in the world. Oh, and liquid Lortab to help you sleep the first couple of nights. Good luck!!

I, too am having outpatient surgery! I was nervous but my breast reduction was outpatient! I think it will be fine! I will have to stay at a hotel and was told the travel home will be fine to just stop every hour and walk for 5 minutes! Good luck! I have mine in February will keep you updated!

      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?

      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.
