Those of you who had a revision from Band to DS in one surgery, (also a hernia repair, if you had it!) how long did it last?

Thanks!

I went lap band to sleeve and then sleeve to DS with hiatal hernia repair.

Asking how long isn't particularly helpful because the length of the surgery is going to vary immensely, depending upon what's going on inside you.

My band to sleeve surgery didn't take long but my sleeve to DS and hernia repair took about six hours.  I was full of adhesions.  Also, it was an exploratory cancer surgery requiring a biopsy on a gastric tumor (as opposed to bariatric surgery).  I was a lucky lady, benign.
