How long was your surgery

[Joe I 180]

I'm having surgery on Monday the 4th and I never asked my surgeon how long the surgery will take. How long was your surgery? How long did you spend in recovery. They told me I should be able to come home on Wednesday.

I went in on a Friday. Surgery was 50minutes long. Was in recovery for about 1 1/2 hours. Was sent to my room afterwards and left Sunday afternoon. No complications. My dr wants all his patients to be in for 2 nights.

Best of luck to you.

Usually about an hour for a straight sleeve. Not sure for band to sleeve revision. Recovery is standard at usually an hour or an hour and a half, unless there were complications.

Same here......45-60 min for the actual surgery, 1 1/2 hrs in the recovery room. And, my surgeon has his patients stay over for 2 nights in the hospital.

Mine was 5 hours! But I was a previous band patient with lots of scar tissue to be cleaned up and had a hernia to repair! Surgery at 730am. Out a little after noon. In recovery until about 5pm (don't remember exactly...). Home after 2 nights in hospital. Could have went home after 1 night but aside from being so far from the hospital (nearly 70 miles) I hadn't had a bowel movement....lol. Was thankful for the extra day of rest because that one extra night was a huge difference in a reduction in the amount of pain I had right after surgery.

Mine was 4 hours.... My huge liver got in the way

[zoekids 120]

I was in for 90 min. They also found a hiatal hernia and repaired it

I was in about 90 minutes with hernia repair. In recovery about 4 hours. Lived within 45 mins of center so I was allowed to go home.

I was in for about an hour, hernia repair as well, recovery after 1-1.5 hours, and discharged 24 hours later. No complications and feeling good.

50 minute surgery, 3 hour recovery because my blood pressure was 200/100 for the longest. After that I went to my room and was there overnight, then sent packing after my bp and heart rate were controlled via medication. Now that I'm home, stopped taking bp meds today and bp is 130/70 again like usual. No worries though, it'll seem like only a few seconds have gone by from the moment you pass out until you wake up.

My surgery was 35 minutes. Total time in OR was 50 minutes. I woke up in the OR and told them I was hurting. Went to recovery and was in there for about an hour and a half. I was coherent and talking with the nurses 75% of the time I was in there. Went to my room and had swallow test a few hours later. Was discharged 26 hours after checking in.

I went in on a Tuesday morning. Surgery was 45 minutes and I spent two hours in recovery. I really don't remember much from the rest of that day as I was coming off anesthesia. I got out of the hospital Friday afternoon.
