As long as surgery and the surgeon need to finish the surgery
it's about an hour and a half of general anesthesia
An adult undergoing sleeve gastrectomy will receive general anesthesia for the duration of the procedure (usually 2.5 - 3 hours), then awakened after the surgery is completed, as is the case with all general anesthetics.
??? 2 hours
The surgery takes about an hour so just a bit longer for the anesthesia.
