Surgery procedure time?



Recommended Posts

Hi guys, spoke to a surgical friend of mine and was discussing length of procedure etc.

I've read a few people on here say their GS only took 35 minutes or their Rny only took an hour and I was surprised and she was

Over here our surgical time for bypass is 3 hours and minimum 4 days in hospital.

Sleeve is 2hrs and minimum 3 days.

Lapband is a potential day surgery.

Can I ask how long people stayed.

I know vast difference in world medical facilities etc, just time wise is crazy!

RNY on 10/26. Stayed two nights.

I got to hospital at 11:30. Went into surgery at 2:04 (I remember them proclaiming the time). I left recovery at 4:45, I'm not sure how or when I got there!

      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.

      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.
