Hi,
Mine was bout 45 Minutes.
You will meet w/ the nurse who will check you vitals and ask about meds your are taking. She will also give you an OPTIFAST order form and let you know how many days you will be on it.
Then she will give you a form with your surgery date and pre- op date - at that time if you wish to be on the cancellation list that's when you tell her.
Surgeon comes in about 20 min later and talks about the surgery (procedure), complications, hospital stay, etc..... He will also have you fill out and sign the authorization forms fro surgery... and finally if you have any questions that would be the time to ask.
Good Luck!!!
