This study, called the TABS Trial, is looking at whether it's safe and practical for patients to go home the same day after bariatric surgery (weight-loss surgery like sleeve gastrectomy or gastric bypass). You would be randomly assigned to either go home within 6 hours of recovery or stay at least one night in the hospital. The main goal is to see how often people in each group need to visit the emergency room within 7 days of their surgery. This study is currently unclear on its recruitment status, but plans to enroll 200 participants. To join, you must be between 25 and 55 years old, have a BMI of 60 or less, and be having bariatric surgery at the sponsor's site. Certain health conditions, like Type 1 Diabetes or severe sleep apnea, would prevent you from participating.

This is a randomized study, meaning you have an equal chance of being in either the same-day discharge group or the overnight stay group. It is an open-label trial, so both you and the study team will know which group you are in. The study plans to enroll 200 participants.
