I just had mine 2 weeks ago and it took 1 hour and 50 minutes

Mine took about 45 min, and I had a hiatal hernia done too. My sister had the same thing on the same day, and hers took about the same amount of time. They came and got my mother for my sister after 1 1/2 hr, and the same with my husband for me. After we left recovery, we were in another area for a few hours where they had us walking every so often, and they had us drinking fluids before we were discharged.

4 hours???? Wow that's a long time!! Mine was 45 mins

I am guessing that included time for me to recover from anesthesia. He said it was that long from going in to them bringing me back to my room.

I remember walking into the OT at 8am and when I woke up it was around 10:40am.

And then I just kept sleeping and being in a weird pain because lying down on my back made my incision stretch that hurt me. So I kept sleeping sitting up, resting my head on the bed table. And burping a lot and my family rubbing my back so the gas escapes out of me....

6pm or 7pm is when I was awake awake.... And watched a bit of TV... May have walked a little too

My surgery took 1:30 hours but my doctor does his leak test during the operation. I was placed for another circa 2 hours in recovery, so I woke up in an area near operating theater and stayed there a bit before being carted back to my room.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
