how long is the Gastric Sleeve surgery ?

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.

There is a whole section about Mexico surgeries under the general board :)

From the time they took me back to the operating room until I was in my own room it took 1.5 hours

I was in about an hour and a half.My surgeon said it took longer do to have trouble with removing scar tissue.and a hiatal hernia repaired.

Sleeve took 35minutes

45 MIN to 1:15 MIN

Mine took a little less then 2 hours. (From what I was told anyway lol)
