How long is the RNY surgery, typically?



Recommended Posts

Having my RNY surgery Wednesday and want to give hubby an idea of how long he'll be in the waiting room. Forgot to ask surgeon. I'm having a robotic-assisted, laparoscopic RNY.

Thanks! I was thinking 2.5 to 3 housr, but don't know.

Well you'll be staying in the hospital overnight at least but I'm pretty sure I read the surgery is usually about 90mins but it can vary for numerous reasons just tell him to wait, bring a book or iPad if he needs to keep occupied lol

And Mikeyy is correct, a ball park figure is 3-4 hours, could be,less, robotic are among the best and quickest but you surgeon will take just as long as it takes to get it done rights My RnY surgery was at 7AM , I was done, awake, and in my own room by 10:15. I was 72, if anyone was gonna have problems, by logic, it should have been ME! You youngins should have it "Made in the Shade!" God Bless you all and Happy and Smooth Surgeries!

my surgery was about 90 minutes. But of course, if you factor in prep time and recovery, then yes, probably 3-4 hours. But the surgery itself is pretty quick.

I was told by my surgeon to expect a 4 hr surgery because its a revision and it takes a long time to separate the stomach from the liver.

BallPark figure I was told, for uncomplicated, 90 minutes to 2 hours. I'm sure it will be exactly the amount of time each case necessitates.

i had my surgery on june 12. i was under and in surgery for 90 min and out in recovery. they kept me overnight for fluids, keeping an eye on me and making sure that there was no complications. i was released the next day. i wont lie, the first two weeks are the worst. i had lots of pain, lethargy and serious bruising. now, im in the pureed food stage and things are SLOWLY getting better :) good luck on your surgery!!!!!!

      It has hit me today, as I sit in my chair at work that I don't have my belly sticking out to where it would hit the desk. Oh and I can cross my legs more comfortably. It amazes me just how much I have loss in inches vs actual pounds, I have lost 24 lbs all together. But I believe in inches all over about 3 inches. I am noticing more energy and have pep to my step. My skin is a lot clearer. My watch band is shorter by 3 notches. the little things are what I am noticing. When I bend over I don't feel out of breath or I am going to fall over ( weeble wobble). 
      I am having a hard time with my sweet tooth, it is very hard to not want to get some ice cream or chocolate. Candy I can do without. I have no craving really for that, just chocolate and ice cream. I have gone as far as taking Popsicle and putting them in my mixer with almond milk and making like ice cream with that/ sometimes I have added un-flavored protein powder. 
      I feel better everyday. The energy is great to have with having younger kids and being able to have the energy to keep up. 😃

      If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🤢).
