Lenght of surgery...

Good afternoon folks,
I have been asked lots of questions about my upcoming RNY, most of which I can answer but, I don't know how long the surgery is!!
 Can someone help me wht this? My surgery is on August 21 aat 1pm.

 I was told 3 hrs from the nurse and dr... And hospital.... But it ended up being just under 2 hrs. Guess I was a cooperate patient :) plan for 3 hrs in surgery and then 3 hrs in recovery (you'll sleep the whole time though) 

Tara just had hers went in @ 1:24 and was out 3:45!!! Hope that helps!! I go for surgery this Wednesday Good luck with yours!!!

Melissa! You must be beside yourself excited! Today, day 4 of Opti, I wasn''t too hungry tonight.
I wish you all the best on Wednesday. And if you speak with Tara, please tell her I am thinking of her.
Carol

Well, thank you ladies!
It doesn't really matter as there won't be anyone waiting but I just wanted to know. I guess I will get back to my room about 6pm then.
Thanks!
Carol

Usually 2-3 hrs. Can vary with Anesthesia etc... Expect about 3 hr in recovery. could be a little longer if you have sleep apnea.

I will let her know for sure
She said she was in recovery till about 5ish then to her room
I am really excited, but trying not to think of it much or i drive myself crazy..
Yes I found each day on opti got ALOT better.. I'm doing awesome now, never hungry and satisfied I just keep telling myself this is for my better!!!!

Hi Carol! Nice chatting with you earlier. A few things to keep in mind. If your surgery is scheduled for 1 pm, there is most likely a surgery before yours. If that surgery is normal length, then you will go in at one and out usually by 4. I would suggest that someone be there for the doctor to speak to. If your daughter can come back, it would be a good idea. Just my opinion though have fun on Optifast!!

Hi Kelly,
It would mean so much to me to have someone there when I wake up but it was hard for me to even get my daughter to drive me there so its very unlikely she will stay. I have given my best friends name and I believe Heather's in the event I don't make it through  or if there is a problem.
She's told me that I should just lose weight on my own like other people can.
I will let you know if I have any other burning questions!
Carol

I was told 2-3 hours for surgery and 3-4 hours for recovery.
