The ultimate goal of this research is to optimize care for patients undergoing laparoscopic bariatric surgery while alleviating pressure on hospital resources and staff. Furthermore, the study aims to generate policy-relevant data that can inform policymakers and healthcare providers in developing funding models and care pathways that balance safety, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. This could support a broader implementation of ambulatory bariatric surgery without compromising quality of care.
