How long was your revision?



Recommended Posts

I know the surgery is longer due to the scar tissue. I am wondering the average surgery time for your revision, just to get an idea of what to expect.

Oh that's not bad at all. I was thinking like 6-8 hours. That makes me feel a little better.

Dr. Aceves posted my total surgery time at 1:31 - which I was originally advised by him it could take him up to 3.

It would all depend on how complicated your particular surgery would be, but if you relatively have no bad issues it shouldn't take all that long.

Good luck!!:scared0:

oh wow Diva.. I didn't think anyone would have a faster time than mine of 2 hours. I thought that was SO quick! They told me anywhere from 3 to 6!

Believe it, I was shocked when I seen that on his surgery report! Glad it went fast though.

Wow, I guess this is why my recovery is taking a little longer. My surgery took just about 5 hours. :thumbup:

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
