how long is the Gastric Sleeve surgery ?



Recommended Posts

mine was 1:20, recovery room was full so they carted me over to the pre-op area. Had to wait there for 3+ hours until a room was ready. They cranked up my morphine a bit too much and I was a zombie the entire day of surgery. Once they dialed it back down to human levels, I felt great. 2 night stay for me. 12 days post-op and I gotta say that I feel about 90% of "normal", but 28lbs lighter!

I was in for about three hours but I had issues and they had to shock my heart twice during surgery. I am just glad I woke up.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
