Friday205 33 Posted April 25, 2019 Has anyone had the sleeve outpatient? I’m having it outpatient on May 1st. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nina0891 43 Posted April 25, 2019 My sleeve was an outpatient. I thought they were crazy, but everything turned out well. I ended up staying in the facility for 2 hours. They wanted to make sure I could walk and used the restroom before leaving.You'll be fine. Best of luck!Sent from my SM-N950U using BariatricPal mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Friday205 33 Posted April 25, 2019 Are the gas pains as bad as I’ve heard? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nina0891 43 Posted April 25, 2019 Are the gas pains as bad as I’ve heard?I experienced some discomforts but nowhere as near the pain that I've heard people talk about on here. When I felt uncomfortable, I would take a quick walk and that seemed to work just fine. Sent from my SM-N950U using BariatricPal mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
