Usually about one and a half to two hours, but the time can certainly very depending on the condition of the patient and whether or not previous surgery has been performed
However long the surgery takes,plus a few minutes depending on various conditions.
2-4 hours.
This is best answered by a bariatric surgeon or anesthesiologist. As a gastroenterologist, I do not do surgery, but I believe a sleeve surgery should take about an hour to finish.
