How long was your surgery

[ISleevedIt 379]

Hmmm, I'm not sure how long my surgery was. I went in at 12:30 and by 2 I was in my room and was released the next day at 3. My recovery is going smoothly and I hope it stays that way. Kinda scary when I read about others that had complications at 2 or 3 weeks out. I am so looking forward for the first month to be over so that I won't have to worry about complications as much.

I was a band to sleeve revision, minimal scarring. From wheeled away to my mom getting told I was doing fine was 90 min. I was in my room about three hours later. Almost zero pain for me....must have had a great anesthesiologist because the nurses kept telling me to push the PCA button and I didn't need it. I went home the next day after I could drink on my own.

I had some other issues (infection where my port was) so while I originally went back to work after a week, three weeks later I had a second surgery and other issues that made me miss a month.

Did your insurance cover any of the medical bills for the hernia repair?

My surgery was about an hour and a half. No complications or other surgeries. Maybe my doc is slow, lol. I was in recovery for about 5 hours due to problems with pain management and high blood pressure. Surgery was at 11 and i didn't get to my room until after 5 pm. I was in the hospital 2 nights.
