I'm getting sleeved in Las Vegas on the 26th and apparently this normal practice for them. I'm worried. I haven't talked to one person who has done this. I'm self pay by the way.

YES, ME! I had surgery on 6-7 here in Vegas!

Wow. That's pretty hardcore. I felt like crap and just slept the rest of the day after coming out of recovery. They kept waking me up to take tests and stuff and I got up and walked every chance I could. I did go home the next day. I probably could have gone home the same day, but I'm glad that I didn't.

There is a surgery group in my local area that does same day surgery. I knew a few people who have gone through them and have done great. I think I would have done better recouping in my own bed rather than the hospital with all the noise and interruptions.

Me! I had my surgery as out-patient here in Seattle. I was in by 1pm and home by 7pm. No issues at all. I even dressed myself when it was time to go home.

I went home the next day.. I had to have a swallow eval before leaving the hospital to make sure I had no leaks.. this is standard procedure at my hospital.. believe me.. I tried to get them to let me go the same day LOL. I didnt want to stay there.. I work at the hospital..and at that time.. I didnt want that particular floor to know my business.. but it turned out to be ok.. they took very good care of me..and I could of gone home that same day because I was up out of bed 15 min after they brought me to my room...and with in the hour was out in the hall walking around.. so I very well could of went home.. but that they said... over night no matter what.. so I listened.. and im almost 6mo and still doing fantastic with no complications what so ever.. Im his star patient he said.

I did my surgery outpatient. I didn't go "home" because it was in a different city, but I did go right back to the hotel the same day.

I did spend a night in the hospital but I could have gone home that day. Slept for about 3 hours after getting back to my room but then once I got up, I spent the rest of the day and evening sitting in the very comfy chair and didn't get back in the bed till I went to sleep. Was on my way home by 9am. I was supposed to stay two nights but there was no need and I did better at home.

Good luck and let us know how it goes!

Yo, Hathery,

Fix your signature line girl, according to it, you haven't had your surgery yet!

Thanks everyone so much!! I feel a little better now!!

Oops, wrong month! Thanks!

I was worried about doing this as outpatient surgery, too. However, this thread has reassured me that there are others who have gone home the same day and done well. Thanks!

My surgeon requires a two night stay in the hospital and will not approve the procedure on an outpatient basis.

I came home 4 hours after surgery and made out great. No problems whatsoever!!

Excellent. How did you feel when you got home? You know, day one, day two? Everyone else seems to be in the hospital for days one and two. I'm just wondering how you felt at home. Thanks for reassuring me.

I was sleeved July 1 and went home the same day. Surgery was at 7:15 am and I left at 5:00 pm. They would have had me leave earlier but I had a bad reaction to anesthesia and was having oxygen issues.
