nollakat 1 Posted October 9, 2016 Hi guys ! I am so nervous and excited about how my life will change in the next few weeks . This is a great place to not feel like you are talking about the surgery too much I haven't seen where anyone has the surgery outpatient which is what my doctor has planned . I don't get to leave until I walk and pee but pretty much I go home the same day . I also don't have have to do a 2 week pre-op liquid diet , instead he has me doing a 2 week high Protein diet and 2 day liquid diet. Has anyone else had this experience ?

anonmom 95 Posted October 9, 2016 I've never heard of anyone doing bariatric surgery as an outpatient procedure. Sent from my Nexus 5X using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Havasumoma 250 Posted October 9, 2016 Mine would be outpatient except I live 3.5 hours away so they are keeping overnight. Sent from my LGLS992 using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skmjs 34 Posted October 10, 2016 I'm in a Facebook group with about 200 recently sleeved people and a good amount of them were outpatients. I stayed 2 nights but I know a ton of people who had surgery in the morning and were home by late afternoon. Wouldn't have worked for me, I had some bleeding complications (nothing serious, I was fine but needed to be monitored).
