Outpatient surgery?

Hi, I wanted to ask about those who have had their wls done at a surgery center, rather than a hospital? My RNY is scheduled for Monday and I’ll be released that same day so I was just curious if you felt comfortable enough going home the same day, or if you had any other concerns with it? Thanks for your help! I’ve been learning so much from this forum.

I stayed a night after my sleeve and I was glad of that. I was groggy and nauseous. I had IV fluids up right until I left the following afternoon and I think they probably tided me over because I had a lot of trouble drinking more than sips in the first day or two at home. I don't think I would have come to actual harm if I'd been discharged on the day of surgery, but if I had to do it again I would still stay in hospital that first night for sure.

Holy crap. Thats the most i have seen so far for sleeve surgery.

Yeah, Cleveland Clinic. I had other health reasons for choosing CC even though it was costly.
