How long did your surgery take? My mother asked the PA and she said about 3 hours. I'm guessing that's worst case scenario, cause I keep reading different amounts of time.

Am having mine this morning????

My surgery was about two hours. Three with recovery.

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

One hour

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.

Did anyone here feel like they couldn't breathe when they woke up?

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.

Mine was 3 hours

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.

About 90 mins. I walked in at 7am and woke up around 9am

Slightly over an hour for the sleeve surgery

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.

Mine was done about 1 hours and 45 minutes.

Mine was 2 hours. I didn't come out of recovery for 6 because as my Dr puts it, "I was enjoying the anesthesia" (I took a long time to wake up).
