Do i need to return to hospital day after "capsule endoscopy" ?

Usually not: You usually follow with your doctor at the office 48 hr after. To return the recording device.

Return device: You need to return the recording device that you wear on your waist (some places ask you to return the same afternoon, or the following day).
