Home recovery after bariatric surgery tested in new trial
NCT ID NCT05259111
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether adults who have bariatric sleeve gastrectomy (a type of weight-loss surgery) can safely recover at home instead of in the hospital. Twenty-eight participants received acute care at home, including nurse and doctor visits, lab tests, and 24/7 urgent support. The goal was to see if home care is as good as hospital care for recovery after major surgery.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Home hospital care (nurse/paramedic visits, physician visits, lab tests, imaging, monitoring, urgent visits, specialty consultation)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that recovering at home after weight-loss surgery is a safe and cost-effective option, reducing hospital stays.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 28 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The study is completed but not yet published, so outcomes are unknown.
