I’m in the final stages of getting my Surgery date.. all paperwork have been submitted to my insurance now waiting for approval, but I was told that my procedure will be outpatient and I will be staying at a nearby hotel with a nurse for the first 24 hours. Should I be worried? The sleevers I know personally have all been operated and stayed in a hospital. Any outpatient sleevers out there?

I was wondering the same thing. I am hoping to the have the sleeve procedure, the doctor I am considering sends you home the same day.

Where are you having it done?

I’m in Florida and having my surgery performed by Dr. Wizman through Oband. Yes I will be released same day.

Mine was outpatient at a hospital in Dallas and I had no problems. I was sleeved and he fixed a hernia I did not know existed. I was given the option to spend the night afterwards but I wanted to go home. I was discharged with so many meds that I was not worried and I slept great that night- I even sent my husband back to work the following day! I struggled with gas for the first 4 days but I'm feeling great now! Good luck- for me at least, this has been much easier that I ever imagined!
