I‘ve just been discharged from...,

[Silverobama]

A friend of mine asked me to have dinner with him. I said "I've just been discharged from the hospital; let's make it next week"

Is my sentence natural?

It's okay, but consider saying "from hospital", especially if you're not focusing on a particular hospital.

May I ask how would native speakers express my sentence?

I'd say something like "I just got out of the hospital. Can we do it next week?"

AmE would still require that definite article. Another one of of those small AmE vs. BrE differences, I suppose.

For the benefit of all learners, this is an AmE/BrE difference we stumble across quite regularly. If you're an in-patient (you've been admitted), BrE uses "I'm in hospital" but AmE requires the article before "hospital". The same goes, as you can see above, for "discharged from" and "[come] out of".
