I just went through this past November.
It's day surgery, but in my opinion, they should keep you in the hospital 1 or 2 days!
They put you under for the surgery, so you don't feel a thing!
The 1st few days it was pretty painfull, and I stayed in a recling chair for those 2 days.
They make 3 small cuts and put in a peice of screen mesh that your stomach lining will grow to.
Expect to take it easy for 6 weeks.
Worst thing was finding out that they had put a cathider in (and they removed it before I woke up) and they don't let you leave the hospital till you pee. OUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!

LETS GO BRANDON
