Safety and factors associated with early discharge in revisional laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass: analysis of the MBSAQIP database.

Early discharge after revisional LRYGB, particularly after an overnight stay, can be accomplished safely in carefully selected patients. However, SDD rates remain low limiting its safety assessment. Further, almost half of the patients stay more than 48 h in the hospital suggesting that policy initiatives toward outpatient management after bariatric surgery may be inappropriate for this patient population.
