How long was the surgery



Recommended Posts

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.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
