Congratulations on your date. And I don't know anyone who is doing it outpatient. I'm surprised that your surgeon would even allow that. Good luck. Tina

RNY on 10/20/05

I read on line a few months ago about some hospital in California that does the RNY as outpatient, so someday that might be the norm!

Lap Band on 10/13/05

My husbands coworkers wife had rny over a year ago, and she was outpatient. Had her surgery like at 7 and was going home that afternoon. The lapband is less invassive than that since there is no actual cutting of the intestines or stomach, so I feel pretty comfortable with it. I have no doubt that if all my stats aren't where they are suppouse to be my surgeon will keep me overnight. Melissa
