My actual surgery was 55 minutes. The whole process through recovery took about 2 hours.

I know mine was less than two and was in recovery for a while before my room.

My dr told my husband & I that it would take 2.5 hrs, they were also taking my gallbladder. When I finally really talked to my husband, he said it was almost 4 and the tracking board at the hospital never changed me to the recovery room. He said he was starting to get really worried when they finally called to tell him I was in my room. Here they found 2 hernias and repaired them as well.

My, surgery was 5.5 hour not including the prep or covery. It took 3 attempts to get enough lining to hold the staples. He said that he never saw or heard of it. Till me.

What is the recovery room process like? How long are you there? Are you up quickly? Any requirements before they'll send you to a room?

I hate the recovery room!!

I was pretty much out until they took me to my room.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
