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 husband said after I went in, it was about 3.5 hours before they got him to come see me in my room.

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

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
