how long is the Gastric Sleeve surgery ?

[ZombieQueen 33]

my surgery was about and hour and 45mins to about 2hours, including prep I believe. It seemed like it went by so quick. I was nervous as heck. They took me to surgery. About 5-10mins later I passed out. Woke up in another area, a few nurses asked me how I was feeling. I remember looking around drowsily and then as they wheeled me to my room I passed back out. Woke up prob an hour or 2 later. It was like it didn't even happen but damn that pain especially the first day was a good reminder it did! Lol!

Mine was quick...Doctor said because I did so good with pre-op my surgery was only 30 minutes compared to the usual 90 minutes. That was 2 days ago. Doing great!!

I had my surgery 11/19/15 -- My surgeon initially told me 2.5-3 hours....but I was out in 1.5 hours.

The surgeon has provide a wide time range, to account for any variables encountered while you're in surgery.

My surgery today. .. I went back to the surgical room at 6:45 and the dr was done and talking with my husband by 8:15. The surgery was about an hour, the rest was preop time. I was home (45 mins) away by 4:00. No complications, thank goodness!

The anesthesiologist said 30 minutes for the actual procedure and 2 hour recovery.

1.5 hours

Mine was 2 hours but i also had my gallbladder out at the same time and my surgeon had to work around mesh from a previously repaired hernia. So I have 7 incisions instead of the usual 5.
