I haven't had mine yet. But was told the surgery excluding recovery and preop. would be about 60 minutes.

Looking forward to shedding this extra baggage. All 54kgs of it.

My surgery was smooth in and out in just over an hour. nothing else done. small liver, because I stuck to my pre-op diet like a champ.

45 min from the time they took me back, and spoke to my husband. But I was in recovery for 2ish hours, and not really very awake until after 3. I had surgery about 10:30.

Mine was done in about an hour but I had a very good and skilled surgeon. She has always been quick and efficient. Normally they say between 1 to 2 hours is the length, at least at the hospital where I was. Hope this helps!

I just had my sleeve done this past thursday....February 19th 2015. The nurses and my Doctor kept my mama up to date on what was going on. Surgery started at 10:30 am and was finished at 11:08am. I stayed in recovery for a few hours then was moved into my room.

I was rolled into the surgery suite at 7:30. The post-op nurse called hubs at 9:25 to say I was coming out of anesthesia just fine.

I think it just depends on the surgeon. If you are curious, I would ask your's. They will also tell you when you get there the morning of.

Mine was Friday at 7.30 and into recovery from 8.45 to 10.45 and into room at 11. Walking at one. No nausea or pain. Just tender. Came home at 3 on Saturday. Getting about 40 oz. of liquids in a day. Feeling really well. Only took 2- 5 ml doses of pain meds.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
