How long does the operation last?

0

The gastric bypass usually takes three to five (3-5) hours. If other procedures are done it could take more than four hours. The lap-band surgery takes 30 minutes to an hour.

Typically, the gastric bypass or the gastric banding requires a total time in the operating room of 2 – 3 hours – the operation itself takes 1½ to 2½ hours. If your family will be waiting, they should understand that the operation may not begin immediately, so they should not watch the clock. If the operation is lasting longer, the doctor may be able to send word.
