Hey...

How long does it take a surgeon to do the laprascopic RNY reconstruction? Just wondering. I am sure my sister will want to know before my surgery next week.

Nurse told my hubby that I would be in there 3 to 3 1/2 hours.

Mine was 3 1/2 hours but that included 45 minutes getting rid of adhesions.

My surgery lasted 3 hours.

Mine lasted 5 hours not sure why since it went good.

My surgeon said 1 to 1 1/2 hours, if no other issues.

Mine only took 2 hours. My surgeon is also the Chief of Bariatric Surgery here so guess he has lots of experience!

My surgeon said it would take around an hour if all goes well...

Mine said about an hour also. Those three hour numbers were beginning to make me think my guy is taking shortcuts LOL.

My 5 hour number makes me feel like something was wrong with mine.

Mine said it would be 1.5-2 hours and I think it was 1.5.

Not sure why mine took 3 hours... there were no complications. My surgeon used the Da Vinci Robot-don't know if that's why it took longer.

Mine took 2.5 hours.

I wonder if people are talking about how long they were gone from their family vs. actual OR time?

No actual time to complete my surgery was 2 hrs 45 mins in recovery and then I was off to my room back with my family. I had to be at the hospital at 5:30 surgery was at 7:30 I was in my room around 11:15. Only took that ling because I had to wait for bed or something.
