how long is the Gastric Sleeve surgery ?
MaveH replied to boosh10's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
1 hour and that included hiatal hernia stitching. 2 hours post op. 7.30a surgery and room by 10.45a. Walking at 1! Felt great. -
I have a bit of pressure under the sternum at times. I get up and walk around and raise my hands up. That seems to help. I am also faithful w my gas x strips. I am getting over 40 oz of liquids in and was able to tolerate Isopure today...so finally getting more Protein. I am ready to get out and walk...but N Tx has ice and some snow.

My surgery was the 20th. I am 5 days out and feeling great. No pain or Nausea. My doc used a drug called Exparel, and it was fabulous. Getting in about 40 oz. of liquids...32 water, some isopure mixed w water, otherwise too sweet, bouillon, sf popsicle, etc.

Mine was Friday at 7.30 and into recovery from 8.45 to 10.45 and into room at 11. Walking at one. No nausea or pain. Just tender. Came home at 3 on Saturday. Getting about 40 oz. of liquids in a day. Feeling really well. Only took 2- 5 ml doses of pain meds. -
I had a block on incisions and it worked beautifully...no pain meds as yet...almost 24 hours out. Just sore muscles like I did some so ups.

Dr. Philip Swanson at Southlake Surgical did a great job.
