Early discharge with home care after weight-loss surgery
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study compares early discharge from the hospital with follow-up care at home versus the usual hospital stay after bariatric (weight-loss) surgery. It aims to see if going home early with home care is safe and reduces costs.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years old or older.
