My total time on the operating room table was about 31 minutes according to my surgeon: 30 minutes for the sleeve and 90 seconds for the hiatal hernia repair.

I slowly lost 100 pounds over 17 months, reaching my goal weight.

I wasn't scared or anxious, although this was my first surgery ever. For me, remaining obese and miserable would have incited more anxiety about my future.

My surgery is scheduled for Monday and I'm scheduled for 3 hours because I'm also having another stomach procedure that needs to be done before sleeve. I'm not the usual case those. .I understand it's 30-40 minutes

My total surgery took about 30 minutes from start to finish. :) It was also my first surgery and I was only nervous once I put on the hospital gown and started prepping. I actually had to sit for almost 3 hours and wait for my spot in the surgical room so I had a lot of time to reflect on what was about to happen but it wasn't bad! I was more anxious to get it over with.
