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.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
