Definition / notes:	This refers to any procedure that does not require an overnight stay in the clinic or hospital. Sometimes “outpatient” is defined as any hospital visit that takes less than 24 hours. The Roux-en-Y is often an outpatient procedure, but many insurance plans require an overnight stay before you get reimbursed for the surgery. You will have to check your plan and discuss the requirements with your surgeon.
