I had the lapband placed in 2014 and it was about a 45 minute procedure.

I had it removed 6/23 and it was a 20 minute procedure. I am assuming the sleeve won't be nearly as short as those two because it is more radical. Does anyone know how long their procedure took?

not sure I slept through it! but seriously mine took like 2 hours at least as far as I could tell.

There's I think about 30+ pages of people answering this question here:

My answer: my surgery was about 90 minutes but it also included a hernia repair and was done by a surgeon who is known to be, let's say, meticulous and methodical in his work rather than running a chop shop in the OR

Mine was over 2 hours long. I was a band-to-sleeve revision plus hiatal hernia repair.

Mine took about 45 mins

Call your surgeon and ask

It takes about 45 minutes, most of it is setup and closure, the operation itself is very fast.

Search on youtube for videos.

Mine was 3 hours long. I went in to OR at 11am and was in my hospital room at 4pm. I was in recovery for an hour. The reason mine took so long was because he also had to remove alot of scar tissue from when I had surgery when I was a newborn, back in 1981 I had a feeding tube so he said that added an hour onto the procedure. Anyways, you will be in good hands. Good luck to you!
