Mine took an hour and a half, and I had a hernia repaired at the same time.

I removed my gallbladder along with the sleeve. My surgeon told me that the op. took around 2h and i started to wake up after 3h. However, I still felt a little bit drugged. It took me around 6 hours after the op. to like officially wake up and see who was around.

Mine took longer because I went in for RNY but they converted me to the sleeve, due to some complications from a prior surgery and scar tissue. I think my total time was in the neighborhood of 1 1/2 hours.

Arrived at 5:00am

Got my room around 5:10

Dressed, IV in around 5:30

Had a nap

7:30 came and got me

7:45 met surgeon, anesthesiologist & the rest of the team

7:59 got nervous (had to pee)

8:15 into surgery

Remember nothing after that , but I know it was really still early when I got out. Maybe 45 minutes.

Awesome results! You should be proud of your achievement!

How long did your surgery take?

@@boosh10

hubby told me it was about one hour (don't know cuz i was asleep at the time :D )

@@Aranks mentioned her gall bladder was taken out too - causing more surgery time

many people also have a hernia removed

if you are having anything like above removed also, it will take longer

good luck :)

      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'. ???

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
