Hi! I had surgery last Wednesday and they removed my gallbladder and repaired a hernia that he found once he got in there and it was less than 2 hours. I remember the anesthesiologist coming in saying he was going to give me some medicine to help me relax & I was out. Slept most of the rest of the day away too.

Congratulations!!! Keep us posted when you're feeling up to it.

My surgery took about 2½ hours but I also had my gallbladder out. I have the video of my surgery & the sleeve took just over an hour. My gallbladder was HUGE with 4 big stones & took a very long time just to free it up. I was told they had to cut it into three pieces just to get it out.

About one hour

Wow mine was an hour. Today is day day two and I don't feel so hot. I am sore, tired and having a very difficult time getting down fluids. I am working on that cause I don't want to end up dehydrated. I had an allergic reaction to the morphine so I wretched and wretched so I don't know if that causes the additional pain. I drink and than about 40 seconds later I get bad cramps

4 and 1/2 hours. Loads of adhesions and my poor hubby was at home panicking because he wasn't with me. I was in Tijuana. He aged about 20 years. And it was my 3 month survive rosary yesterday. 50lbs down so far!
