Evaluate the safety and efficacy of an early discharge protocol (23 hours, overnight stay) after scheduled sleeve gastrectomy.
This study aims to demonstrate that a shorter hospital stay after sleeve gastrectomy is as safe and useful as conventional protocol with 48-36 hours of stay. We consider that an adequate patient information and support will facilitate this shorter stay
