NewandImproved 0 Posted September 6, 2010 From preop holding room to PACU was 45 min. I am thinking the actual procedure was about 35-40 minutes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dansha 16 Posted September 6, 2010 If there are no complications it should take about 40 to 45 minutes. My family barely sat down in the waiting room before my surgeon was coming out telling them everything went fine and I was doing great. LOL. Deb Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lunarose 97 Posted September 6, 2010 Hi, Let's see the last thing I remember is that it was 3pm the next when I was awake enough to see it was 5pm. I'll have to ask my husband (G) nancy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alegna242 1 Posted September 6, 2010 My surgeon was out and commenting to my husband how quick he was done with me, he said 25 minutes. I guess I shrunk my liver enough, I lost 18 pounds during my 4 day liquid diet and the nervousness leading up to my date. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MlkPas 5 Posted September 6, 2010 I have a video of mine, and from the first incision to actually pulling my stomach out of the largest incision, it was about 35 minutes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Go Kart Mozart 44 Posted September 6, 2010 Mine took about two hours, but my liver was kind of large, even after the pre-op diet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AniO 0 Posted September 7, 2010 My surgery took over 2 hours. I had been taking fish oil until 9 days before surgery and because of that, my blood was oozing. Everytime he put a staple on, blood oozed. Thankfully I wasn't hemmorhaging. I was never in danger, I didn't need a transfusion. AniO Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

currysusan123 2 Posted September 7, 2010 Mine was 3 hrs. I didn't follow pre op diet well enough...my liver was really fatty. Recovery was 3 hrs too because I woke up in so much pain they knocked me back out. I ADVISE EVERYONE I CAN TO FOLLOW THE PRE-OP DIET FAITHFULLY. It is worth it.

a.walker 2 Posted September 7, 2010 My husband had surgery right before I did and his took about an hour from the time they took him back to the time they brought him back out. I am not sure how long mine took, because nobody was there to tell me what time I got back from surgery. My husband was too busy recovering, too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
