GypsyQueen 198 Posted August 28, 2013 In and out in an hour. Procedure without any extras (hernia, gall bladder, etc) lasts 30-45 min. 1 alittler09 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Free_being_me 16 Posted August 28, 2013 Hi! I had surgery last Wednesday and they removed my gallbladder and repaired a hernia that he found once he got in there and it was less than 2 hours. I remember the anesthesiologist coming in saying he was going to give me some medicine to help me relax & I was out. Slept most of the rest of the day away too. 1 alittler09 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Peggy D 124 Posted August 29, 2013 My surgery took about 2½ hours but I also had my gallbladder out. I have the video of my surgery & the sleeve took just over an hour. My gallbladder was HUGE with 4 big stones & took a very long time just to free it up. I was told they had to cut it into three pieces just to get it out.

nervousnelly 24 Posted August 29, 2013 Wow mine was an hour. Today is day day two and I don't feel so hot. I am sore, tired and having a very difficult time getting down fluids. I am working on that cause I don't want to end up dehydrated. I had an allergic reaction to the morphine so I wretched and wretched so I don't know if that causes the additional pain. I drink and than about 40 seconds later I get bad cramps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
