Comment on: Making Lemonade with Lemons: A multicenter effort to improve outpatient sleeve gastrectomy amid the COVID-19 pandemic

The main reason for the popularity of Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) resides in its balance between effectiveness, safety, and technical simplicity. This apparent technical simplicity and the moderate postoperative physiologic derangements, make LSG a potential candidate for a same-day (SD) surgery procedure. In addition, the implementation of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols has contributed to the feasibility of SD LSG. In fact, pain and nausea are one of the most common reasons for delayed discharge after such procedures.
