Has anyone cane home the same day as surgery?

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.

    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 rat

    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 afternoon. I definitely would have slept better if I'd gone home the same day... (well, except that then I wouldn't have had the pain med pump, which was awesome!) I kept setting off the alarms because my pulse or blood pressure would drop too low. I wasn't concerned about that because I always have low blood pressure and my pulse is pretty low too. (I've been "excused" from donating blood because my pulse was below 50 - and that was pre-surgery.)

Excellent. How did you feel when you got home? You know' date=' 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.[/quote']

The first day I came home I felt fine, slept a lot, took a shower. Day 2 was the worst of all of my recovery. The gas was horrible, I was still nauseated from the anthesesia. But it's all been up hill since then :) ill be 2 weeks this coming Wednesday and I've lost 20 lbs so far
