For sleeve I think it's under an hour. I honestly wasn't exactly looking at the clock before and after. Pre-op they gave me happy pills so I didn't have a care in the world. Post-op, I was coming out of anesthesia, groggy and confused.

    They told me mine took longer than expected, don't know how much, but honestly I didn't care since I was out of it from anesthesia. From my perspective, It felt like I literally lied down on the table and then the next thing I know I awake in a dark room.

    I remember the hubs saying it took longer and the doctor came to talk to him. Because I had the lymph node scare last year he wanted to take a look at my abdominal lymph nodes to make sure they were normal before doing the actual sleeve.

    I have no idea though. best nap I've had in a long time. :-)
