Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Bariatric Surgery Candidate, Bariatric Sleeve Gastrectomy, Home Hospital

In brief

Providing acute care at home for medicine patients is a well-studied care model. Providing acute care at home immediately following major surgery is less well understood. The investigators seek to demonstrate the noninferiority of care at home versus the hospital for patients undergoing bariatric sleeve gastrectomy.
