My surgery is tomorrow afternoon and I've been told that I will get out on Saturday.

I'll be doing the self-pay and in doing so my surgery will be outpatient which means in and out all in 1 day. I have mixed emotions about this.

Had my surgery on a Friday and was released on that Sunday. Same amount of time as you will be. Good luck to you!

2 days. No other surgeries. Sleeve done laparoscopically.

In on a Thursday morning out on a Saturday evening. Sleeve and liver biopsy.

Surgery Friday 3pm. Discharged Saturday 9am. Shopping by 11am. No other surgeries.

Surgery friday at 10 discharged sunday at 8 am..

Surgery at noon, released the following day at 2 p.m. No other surgeries.

I think it depends on the way the surgery is done. I would have been okay going home after one day. I was bored and spent half the 2nd day playing candy crush on my iPad.

Surgery on a Monday at 730am and home Tuesday by 11am

Sleeve, Hernia repair and hysterectomy all done 7/23. Spent 4 days which was 1 day less than they had planned.

I had my sleeve on a Thursday and was discharged Saturday afternoon.....good luck!
