lea3277 6 Posted August 23, 2017 I'm having a band revision to the sleeve in a couple of weeks. I'm having at an outpatient surgery center and will be released the day of. Has anyone else had the procedure as a day surgery and how did you do? I see most people end up staying in the hospital 1-3 nights. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JT2002TJ 170 Posted August 24, 2017 That is weird. I thought the sleeve was always an inpatient thing, as they need to test for leaks. This is new to me. 1 lea3277 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lea3277 6 Posted August 24, 2017 They told me they'd check for a leak before they complete the surgery. I am going to a reputable physician and trust him, but I feel like the first few days will be rough! My friends who had the revision from band to sleeve stayed at least 1, if not 2 nights in the hospital. We shall see! Any post op advice would be great!

I'm sure the surgeon knows what they are doing! I'm still pre-op, I have my 6th weight in today, YAY!!! So, sorry I have no post-op advice. I expect it will be like a month to a month and a half, so maybe I can get some advice from you! Good luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
