Surgery Time
I'm sure I read somewhere how long the bypass surgery is. Does anyone know? Also how much longer does a revision take?

A RNY can take 2 - 4 hours it all depends on how things are going during the surgery and before they close you up they also test to make sure there is no leaks.

I've heard 3 hours or so, but mine was about 4 hours. I had an RNY. I think sometimes it's longer for people with sleep apnea. Recovery certainly is - they keep you in the recovery room for a few hours and wake you up slowly instead of just an hour or so.
No idea about revisions, though!
