My doctor is a top surgeon here in Atlanta and I am a very low risk . My bmi is right at 36. I am doing out patient and as long as I can drink , walk n not nausea I can go home

I totally trust the dr but someone who had over 100lbs to lose said she never heard of out patient n that is was crazy basically to think I could

Anyone have out patient?

I've lost 128 pounds so far and my husband has lost 100 pounds and is at goal. We were both outpatient. In at 7:30 am, out by 5:30 pm. The doc's not going to recommend outpatient if he doesn't think it's safe, it's his reputation on the line.

Mine was technically outpatient even though I spent the night in the hospital. I was told it was outpatient up to 24 hours after surgery. Then, they have to decide whether or not to let you go home or admit you. I was doing well enough to go home.

Thanks everyone!!!

I was an outpatient too! In super early out just before sundown lol you'll be fine

I had a 6 hour long procedure on my ear in July this year that was out patient I have to have scar tissue removed from that same ear next week Tuesday which will also be out patient
