Best Answer

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.

What is the difference between outpatient and inpatient surgery?

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.
