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.

I just had my gastric sleeve done on 4/20/15 and it took 1 1/2 hours.

My surgeon said actual surgery was 30 min. Was in recovery for about an hour.

Mine was 1 hour

45 mins and an hour in recovery, sleeve with no complications

I went into the OR at about noon, and was in my room (not the recovery room) by about 2:30. That included having a lap band removed. I think it was faster than having my band put in 8 years ago, but during that surgery I also had my gallbladder removed, and a "huge" (surgeons words) hiatal hernia repaired. This recovery has been much less painful.

Camkids, it sounds like they holllowed you out! Don't worry. I have not had a gallbladder since 1973 and haven't missed it at all. I hope you are having a good recovery.

mine was 35 mins and that included removing my gall bladder

Thanks, Miss Mac. My gb came out when the lap band went in 8 years ago. I was much more sore after that surgery. Never have missed my gb, and now I don't miss that band!

About an hour and a half for me with 2 hours in recovery.

Just had mine done Friday, May 15th. It was 2.5 hrs

I was in and out (of surgery) in 1.5 hours, for Band removal and revision to sleeve. Very fortunate to have not had much scar tissue, and no hernia to repair.

I just had my surgery on Wednesday and was in the OR for about 4.5 hours. I had so many adhesions that it took my surgeon over 3 hours to lyse them all. He also removed broken wires left from a surgery done in 1981. Then he proceeded with my hiatal hernia repair and gastric sleeve which took a hour. I came home last evening.

My husband's took an hour and mine about the same

Pre op at 530. In surgery at 8. My surgeon showed up late, it was supposed to be 730. I was in recovery around 10 (I had a hernia repaired) and in my room by noon.

Good to know
