Hi guys, spoke to a surgical friend of mine and was discussing length of procedure etc.

I've read a few people on here say their GS only took 35 minutes or their Rny only took an hour and I was surprised and she was

Over here our surgical time for bypass is 3 hours and minimum 4 days in hospital.

Sleeve is 2hrs and minimum 3 days.

Lapband is a potential day surgery.

Can I ask how long people stayed.

I know vast difference in world medical facilities etc, just time wise is crazy!

RNY on 10/26. Stayed two nights.

I got to hospital at 11:30. Went into surgery at 2:04 (I remember them proclaiming the time). I left recovery at 4:45, I'm not sure how or when I got there!

I'm not sure about surgery time, but My surgeon said overnight hospital stay for the sleeve. [emoji4]

RNY on 12/21. Surgery lasted approximately 1.5 hours. They reserved the room for 3. Only needed to spend 1 night in the hospital.
