Surgery takes about an hour if you have a surgeon who is methodical. The. It takes time for the anesthesia to wear off. 2 to 3 hours I'd say would cover it, but I was passed out and lost track of time. I just decided to let go and surrender to the process. Hard for me,because I'm pretty controlling. Lol

My surgery took 90 minutes. I had a hiatal hernia repair plus my surgeon says he likes to take his time to do the most precise work with the minimum amount of trauma necessary, so he takes longer than some.

My surgery was 45 mins. I was up walking 2 1/2 hrs after going into the operating room :)

Mine was around 35 minutes for the actual surgery. My surgeon does 3 or 4 surgeries a day so she is very efficient even with doing the extras such as an oversew of the staple line.. she always works with the same team so they all know exactly what to do like a well oiled machine. Also, I had very little visceral fat and a small liver so there was tons of free space in my abdomen for her to manipulate the instruments making the surgery easy for her.

Getting sleeved on Monday too! My surgeon said 2 1/2 hours. He is a bit of a perfectionist. He staples, stitches over the staples and does a leak test while you're under.

      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.
