Losingitforgood! 50 Posted October 23, 2012 With gallbladder removal it was about 1.5 hours. No complications- I believe my VSG only took about 45 minutes. It was the gallbladder that took the extra time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lizv123 389 Posted October 23, 2012 My surgeon said around an hour. He does it laparoscopically and with the DaVinci robot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sunsetblvd68 16 Posted October 23, 2012 Mine took about 2 hrs...but I had a hernia repair & a liver biospsy...also had some enlarged blood vessels that he had to take his time around. Better safe than sorry. But normally it should take about an hour!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AliciaA122 24 Posted October 23, 2012 My doc says 1.5-2 hours. He also does a liver biopsy and uses DaVinci. I'm having my gallbladder removed as well, so I'm assuming I'll be towards the 2 hour mark. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
