Outpatient procedures included 52 SGs and 17 RYGBs. Conversion to inpatient hospitalisation occurred in 29% of the patients due to issues of unrelieved pain and food intolerance. Eight patients visited the emergency department postoperatively and seven patients required readmissions for complications. No mortality was reported. Mild obstructive sleep apnoea was independently associated with increased odds of conversion to inpatient hospitalisation (adjusted odds ratio [OR]: 3.91, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.02\u201315.00), while increasing age was associated with decreased odds (adjusted OR: 0.93 per year, 95% CI: 0.87\u20130.99).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Outpatient bariatric surgery, particularly for selected patients, is generally feasible and safe.

Effective pre-operative evaluation, refined patient selection, improved post-operative care, patient education on pain and expectations are crucial for optimising outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n
