Length of surgery

[CoramDeo 39]

If you had both parts of the surgery drive at once, how long did your surgery last? Trying to figure out how long my wife may be waiting

I think the actual surgery was 1.5-2 hours but what takes the most time is the recovery room. I was in there for about 5 hours until they could find me a room.

Mine was a revision from RNY to DS. It took 9 hours.

[Postop 411]

Full DS. 4.5-5 hours.

I'm still pre-op (Traditional BPD-DS 9/17). Surgeon said total surgery would be about 6 hours.

But he's also doing a Hiatal Hernia repair (1-2 hours) and Appendectomy (1-2 hours). That leaves 2-4 hours for the BPD-DS itself.

Just had mine yesterday morning and took 6 hours with gall bladder out too.
