Outpatient Sleeve Gastrectomy

Surgical Consultants of Northern Virginia Blog Outpatient Sleeve Gastrectomy

We are very excited to offer a new protocol for outpatient robotic sleeve gastrectomy in select patients! Patients are discharged the day of surgery and go home to sleep in their own beds that night! This is important to minimize COVID exposure in our patients, by eliminating the transfer and overnight stay on the inpatient floor. Schedule your bariatric consultation today to find out if you are a candidate for this new protocol!
