Answered by Master, Doctor Nguyen Ngoc Khanh - Department of General Surgery, Vinmec Times City International General Hospital.
Hello,
With the question “How long does gastric bypass surgery take? ”, the doctor would like to answer as follows:
The time for a gastrectomy and the time of anesthesia after the surgery are not precisely determined. Depending on the type of stomach disease, the purpose of that gastrectomy should range from 1-over 10 hours.
Depending on the patient's health, the type of gastric bypass surgery, the most common time from the operating room to the recovery room and then from the recovery room to the ward is usually about 30 minutes.
Post-operative notes will be consulted by the doctor on each patient. Because every patient is different. Therefore, usually a surgeon or doctor who is authorized by a surgeon and who knows the patient and surgery will advise.
If you still have questions about gastrectomy, you can go to the hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
