In and out in an hour. Procedure without any extras (hernia, gall bladder, etc) lasts 30-45 min.

Mine took about an hour and a half but I did have a hiatal hernia they fixed. Good Luck.

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.

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.

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!

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
