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.

Surgery was like 45 minutes for me but the waking up I guess was a little longer

1.5 hrs. That's what mine was

From being wheeled to the operating room, through surgery, through recovery to getting in my own room was a little more than four hours. Pre-op not included. I also had a hiatal hernia repair so that added time to the surgery.

I arrived at 7am. Back to OR at 8am. Out of surgery at 10:45am (band to sleeve conversion), and discharged at 2:45pm.

Just had mine done last Friday & it took 30 minutes!

I had my surgery on 11/21/14. The surgeon told my sister it only took him 40 minutes. He stated I prepped very well. I only have four incisions instead of five.

Awesome, glad it went well! Don't think we are the norm though.

I also had an easy time, was up walking in the recovery room... I think I shocked the nurses, said they haven't had anyone wanting to walk that soon. I have had gall bladder surgery and 3 c-sects... When I was 25 years younger. This was far easier. God is good. My doctor has a 3 day stay, but let me go early.

My surgery was a little over an hour. I am so thankful!

I was up and walking in recovery as well. They laughed at me cause I had to pee so they wheeled me to the bathroom door and I practically ran to the toilet. I wanted to go home after one day but my doc kept me for 2. I don't think we're necessarily the norm but I think those who have an easy time of it don't post as much.

Along with the sleeve, I had my gallbladder removed and a hernia repair. My husband said the dr came out to talk to him 2 hours after they took me back.

My surgery was 4hours that icludes preop prep And recovery

My procedure was between 45 minutes to an hour

My surgery was 35-40 minutes. Husband said he just used the restroom, sat down, fired up his computer, and surgery was done.

My surgery was 40 min. But the wait and prepping for the actual surgery. I went to the hospital at 10:30 and was in surgery at 3:00 and went home by 5:00 of back to my hotel room.
