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.

Hello my surgery was 45 minutes ...THE EVER!

Oops...THE BEST EVER!

I was one of the last patients of the day. There were delays caused by someone else's surgery.

I checked in at 10am and was prepped by 11 or so. They didn't take me to surgery until around 3pm. I was out of recovery and in a room by 630pm. I also had hernia repair on my esophagus so that may have added a little time.

I was talking to my husband before 7pm and walking before 9pm. I got up several times during the night and walked.

I walked several times in the morning and checked out the next day at 1pm and came home.

Had a 5 hour drive so we had to stop every hour or so and I had to get out and walk.

All the walking really helped me leave the hospital earlier and feel better at home. I still walk many times s day.

Surgery was 12/22/14

I had a hernia repaired but my actual surgery time was 1.5 hours. I also had a hernia repaired. But I don't remember much, just waking up in recovery afterwards.

I was told 3 because by the time they put you in the room and you get put under the doctors scrub then they cut you then sew you back up then you wake up the you go to your recovery room that should be about 3 hours lol

My doc said 35-45 min the most.

90 min

@@sukik who was your surgeon? If u dnt mind me asking.

Hahaha... You guys make it sound so easy...

I have heard an average time of 1.5hrs... What scares me is what if I don't come out of GA or what if I start walking towards the light ☺️????

Mine was yesteryear. Surgery at 9:46, recovery at10:45, in my room by noon

Mine took 45 min and my husband approx 40 mins

I was at the hospital by 8am and taken back to the OR at 9:30 and my mom says my surgeon talked to her at 11:30am. I woke a little in recovery because of pain and then woke in my hospital room at 4pm.

At hospital 6 am, taken back about 15 minutes, was in a small room for urine, iv, etc, for about 30 minutes, then taken to pre-op, then talked with nurses, surgeon, anesthesia, then he knocked me out, I was in a room in about 2.5 hours.

My surgery was 1-28-15. 50 minutrs from time they took me back to time they were talking to my husband.

My MD Said mine was approx. 50 minutes.
