janie2024 59 Posted June 29, 2013 Im still pre op and I know I will get a lot of different answers.... but how long did your surgery last and were there any other medical conditions taken care of at same time? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TracyAnn15 22 Posted June 29, 2013 I didn't actually ask when I was coherent. But somewhere in my narcotic induced haze I think I recall the recovery nurse telling me it took about an hour and a half. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kami63 215 Posted June 29, 2013 I had lapband removed and sleeved in 50 minutes. Was in OR for prep and surgery a total of 1 hr 20 minutes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DeniseM 238 Posted June 29, 2013 I arrived at the hospital at 7:00 am, was in the pre-op area until 7:55, in the OR at 8:00, in recovery at 9:00 (so they tell me- I was still sleepy), and in my hospital room by 10:00. All I had done though was the sleeve, and no complications or anything unusual found during surgery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SerendipityHappens 1,594 Posted June 29, 2013 Sleeve only... about 35 minutes. Easy surgery, small liver and much less visceral fat than would have been expected at my BMI. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
butterfly_gal 151 Posted June 29, 2013 My surgeon said mine took 40 minutes. He said my liver looked good and I bled very little. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
