Day Surgery or Inpatient?

As I was reading a few post on here, I noticed that some people stayed in this hospital after surgery. Just wondering in the sleeve is a day surgery or you actually stay inpatient for a few days then go home? if so.. how long is the stay?

      I had the sleeve and they originally said 4 days but sent me home the day after. I was a little disappointed because I was nervous about going home with the new tummy. Sent from my iPhone using t

      Depends on your surgeon. My sleeve was impatient, I had to stay 3 nights. I would never do it as outpatient. The care and support I received was amazing. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPa

      I'm post post op a week. I stayed two nights. I understand one to two nights is standard, but some stay longer if there are issues or need more observation. Sent from my iPhone using the Bariatri

    I was sleeved Dec 6th at 8 pm and stayed overnight. Some people stay longer but usually its one or two over night stays

    It is usually an overnight or more. They have to make sure that suture line on your stomach doesn't fail when you start taking in liquids.

    I have seen a couple people mention having a swallow study done. My doctor doesn't do that, but does keep people for 1-2 days post op.

    I stayed one night in hospital and was released with no issues the next morning.

    My surgery is scheduled for Tuesday. I will go home the same day then return the next day for a swallow study and drain tube removal.
