A gastric band or balloon may sometimes be fitted as day-patient surgery. This is normally done as a day-patient case if the patient has not already been admitted to the hospital for pre-assessments, or pre surgical diets under medical supervision.
A gastric bypass will normally require an inpatient stay, since it is more invasive.
Outpatient means the patient goes home the same day as the surgery; inpatient means a hospital stay is required.
inpatient and outpatient
outpatient means the patient goes home the same day of surgery. inpatient means the patient stays in the hospital.
Inpatient surgery bills are likely to cost more because the patient is required to stay one or more nights in the care of the hospital, meaning they are required to provide food, shelter, and all the necessary equipment and medications to keep the patient in optimal health. Outpatient surgery...you're in and you're out the same day so the hospital isn't spending as much money for your healthcare.
outpatient
Lasik eye surgery is considered an outpatient surgery because the patient is allowed to go home on the exact same day. You will still have to treat your eyes with drops and avoid to much light but you will get to go home.
The costs can vary between 1,000 and 3,000 dollars per surgery. It also depends on whether you are having inpatient or outpatient surgery.
