I wasn't even out of the recovery room in the amount of time that they are expecting you to be discharged in! Do you have the option to stay overnight if you are having a hard time controlling your pain or don't feel ready to go home?

I will ask that question during my pre-op class. My surgeon told me overnight stays are only for those who have complications during surgery. We shall see.

Cl, where are you having your surgery?

Hello! I'm scheduled for surgery later this month and will be going home shortly after the procedure is done. What will I need at home to help with the recovery process? Will I be okay on my own, or will I need a "babysitter" for the first few days?

Thanks!

I was sleeved on February 9th and my procedure was outpatient as well. It was done at a center of excellence. I checked in at 6 am and was home by 4 pm the same day. Many sleeves are performed as outpatient procedures if you feel the need to stay over night that shouldn't be a problem. They do the leak test and everything the same day. Yes, you will need someone home with you for the first couple of days but the first night I was so drugged that all I did was sleep. Sending positive vibes and healing your way on surgery day- congrats

Congrats to you as well!! I will make sure I have some friends on duty for after care. Thank you!!

Good to know @@rking Thanks!

What do you mean by outpatient? How soon after the procedure will you be discharged?

My surgery is scheduled for 11:30am and I was told that I would be headed home by 3pm. Crazy, I know.
