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.

Just 45 min in the OR and then about two hour in recovery for me

For bypass I was told is about an hour, well those are my surgeon's average times

Mine took 1 hour and 20 minutes

Mine was less than 2 1/2 hrs.

Mine was 45 min and 2 hrs recovery then I was in my room and ask to rest but I started walking as soon as I got there the pain from the gas was unreal and my 5 yr old help me walk it was the sweetest thing and gave me strength

Had mine done yesterday and it was 45 minutes

My surgery was about 1.5 to 2 hours.. Went to record for an hour. Just go home today 4/1.

I think mine was 45 minutes. My sister said it was around that time they brought her over to recovery to see me.

Like 45 minutes

3 hours for lap band removal and skeeve

Hi, my surgeon said it was 2 hours, very clean and successful. I am sure it was because I felt great the 2nd week but took it easy, followed instructions and rested when needed.

My surgery was only 1-1/2 hours, the surgeon said it was one of his easier sleeves. Was in recovery for about 1-1/2 hours.

Mine was only 80 minutes. It's recovery that takes forever before they let your mom back

My surgeon told me it went perfectly. Text book case

Just over an hour and that included a hiatus hernia repair as well

From my recollection, it took from my counting down from 100 to 98 then waking up in the recovery room.

The surgery should take 1-2 hours depending upon the complexity and experience of the surgeon.

If you have any additional work needed (hernia repaired, removal of the gallbladder (if they find it diseased), etc.) it will take a little longer.
