First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This pilot study tests whether patients having laparoscopic gastric bypass can safely go home the same day if they use a remote monitoring device. Forty adults will be randomly assigned to either same-day discharge with remote monitoring or an overnight hospital stay. The study will check if this approach is feasible, safe, and cost-effective, and how it affects quality of life.
