How long did your surgery take?

Hi Diana

Have one more doctors appt before the stuff gets sent to the insurance for approval just trying to get an of how long the surgery would take. I think I will be so out of it after the surgery that it would be silly for him to hang around, and I really don't want him to bring my daughter up to the room she is only 5 and I think it would freak her out to much. 

How is Don doing? I saw that he posted about the leak he had hope it has cleared up. Can he get comfortable yet? 

Thanks for all your help.

Mine was about 3.5 hours for open DS (I, too had c-section) with no problems.  My hubby had to work, too, so he saw me off, and had to leave.  He left his number at the desk, and they called to tell him everything went okay and when I was transferred up to my room.  I was so out of it, I didn't miss him.

Mine was about 5 hours with a hernia repair.

laparoscopic Virgin DS - adhesions from previous hysterectomy = 3 1/2 hours start to finish - absolutely charmed recovery. 

A little over three hours for a lap DS, hernia repair, removal of gall bladder and appendix. Master surgeon John Rabkin,

i had open DS, it took a little over 5 1/2 hours, and 2 hours to recover. but everyone is different. good luck!! :)

2 hours in recovery* sorry

I am pretty sure when I met my doctor he said it was going to be open not a lap.
