With gallbladder removal it was about 1.5 hours. No complications- I believe my VSG only took about 45 minutes. It was the gallbladder that took the extra time.

My surgeon said around an hour. He does it laparoscopically and with the DaVinci robot. :)

Mine told me anywhere from 45 mins up to two hours, however mine only took about 45 minutes. It was done laparascopically.

Mine took about 2 hrs...but I had a hernia repair & a liver biospsy...also had some enlarged blood vessels that he had to take his time around. Better safe than sorry. But normally it should take about an hour!!

My doc says 1.5-2 hours. He also does a liver biopsy and uses DaVinci. I'm having my gallbladder removed as well, so I'm assuming I'll be towards the 2 hour mark.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
