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.

Mine was quick...Doctor said because I did so good with pre-op my surgery was only 30 minutes compared to the usual 90 minutes. That was 2 days ago. Doing great!!

Mine was 60-90 minutes.

Mine was 60 mins.

I had my surgery 11/19/15 -- My surgeon initially told me 2.5-3 hours....but I was out in 1.5 hours.

The surgeon has provide a wide time range, to account for any variables encountered while you're in surgery.

Mine was just about an hour. I went in at 11 and don't remember anything until 4 pm that afternoon.

1hour and 15 minutes with a hiatal hernia repair.

Mine was only 40 mins

My surgery was at 8 am and I was in a room by 11:30ish. Doc told me the actual surgery time was about 2-2 1/2 hours.

Just had surgery today and My actual surgery time (not incurring prep and recovery was @ 40 mins. With prep and recovery 2 1/2 hours.

My surgery today. .. I went back to the surgical room at 6:45 and the dr was done and talking with my husband by 8:15. The surgery was about an hour, the rest was preop time. I was home (45 mins) away by 4:00. No complications, thank goodness!

The anesthesiologist said 30 minutes for the actual procedure and 2 hour recovery.

My surgery including hiatal hernia repair was about an hour with an additional 2 hours in recovery.

1.5 hours

Mine was 2 hours but i also had my gallbladder out at the same time and my surgeon had to work around mesh from a previously repaired hernia. So I have 7 incisions instead of the usual 5.

Mine was only about 45 minutes. Recovery 4 hours and discharged. I'm one week out and doing well. According to my doctor on a track and I've lost total of 40 since pre op diet 4 weeks ago. 10 since surgery last week.
