I think I must have been in surgery for a couple of hours if that helps and I had the bypass

I think I was 2/3 hours with a sleeve xx

My surgeon had a bit of "trouble" with my bypass which meant the pouch was smaller than he usually does I was in there 3hrs 10 mins

Nearly four hours with my bypass but I'd just had my gallbladder out four weeks before and I also had scarring and lesions on my pancreas that needed dealing with.

mine was around 4 hours long don't know if that normal or not

I think from what I've read it's between 2-4 hours for all of them as it depends on existing medical conditions and the bigger/ larger patient it takes longer etc. So it depends on the Patient and your Surgeon.

Thanks for that info ladies.

I was in for 100 odd minutes. I had a sleeve, with a previous open procedure to remove my gall bladder and appendix (so there were adhesions).

I had the sleeve and the procedure took about 1hr but that doesn't includ the aneasthetic bit.
