[Wyked3 6]

My operation took 1 hour and 30 min.I received the gastric sleeve and when I woke up from Anesthesia I was like the hulk lol.

I just had my gastric sleeve done on 4/20/15 and it took 1 1/2 hours.

My surgeon said actual surgery was 30 min. Was in recovery for about an hour.

Mine was 1 hour

45 mins and an hour in recovery, sleeve with no complications

I went into the OR at about noon, and was in my room (not the recovery room) by about 2:30. That included having a lap band removed. I think it was faster than having my band put in 8 years ago, but during that surgery I also had my gallbladder removed, and a "huge" (surgeons words) hiatal hernia repaired. This recovery has been much less painful.

Camkids, it sounds like they holllowed you out! Don't worry. I have not had a gallbladder since 1973 and haven't missed it at all. I hope you are having a good recovery.

mine was 35 mins and that included removing my gall bladder

Thanks, Miss Mac. My gb came out when the lap band went in 8 years ago. I was much more sore after that surgery. Never have missed my gb, and now I don't miss that band!

About an hour and a half for me with 2 hours in recovery.

Just had mine done Friday, May 15th. It was 2.5 hrs

I was in and out (of surgery) in 1.5 hours, for Band removal and revision to sleeve. Very fortunate to have not had much scar tissue, and no hernia to repair.

I just had my surgery on Wednesday and was in the OR for about 4.5 hours. I had so many adhesions that it took my surgeon over 3 hours to lyse them all. He also removed broken wires left from a surgery done in 1981. Then he proceeded with my hiatal hernia repair and gastric sleeve which took a hour. I came home last evening.

Pre op at 530. In surgery at 8. My surgeon showed up late, it was supposed to be 730. I was in recovery around 10 (I had a hernia repaired) and in my room by noon.
