    I was told the same thing by Kruger himself and the RNY # are getting smaller as the sleeves are rising. I'm very happy with my decision I've lost 75 and feel like a totally new person. I had a friend who had Streeter and wanted the lap band and he wouldn't do it so she ended up with the RNY I think he only like to do them stick with your decision girl it is in my opinion the ultimately best way to go

    The last time I seen my surgeon he was telling me that the sleeve is taking over the RNY because of the malnutrition so I was just wondering if they recommended the sleeve for you ladies or was it your decision. For me Dr.Kruger recommended it because of my asthma issues and with the bypass I couldn't ever take prednisone and Motrin again for it. I was so happy as I didn't like the rerouting of the intestines part.
  4. Did he tell you how much of your stomach he is taking out. I keep forgetting to ask him when I see him. I'm curious if its the same for everyone. I see him for my 9 month in a few weeks I'm gonna make a list Lol

    They usually recommend flinstones complete I bought a big bottle from bjs. I don't know if Streeter does a leak test besides in surgery but if so your gonna want to get some sugar free Gawain punch drop ins crystal lite isn't strong enough to add to that god awful taste I got the chills and puked from it and almost passed and didn't find out that I could stuff to it till my very last leak test

    New Bedford Ma here 10/30/12 with Dr. Kruger
  13. I'm from New Bedford Ma and I had my surgery with Dr. Kruger he is the best I love love him. I had the first leak in Wareham I went through hell but no regrets it saved my life. I had Streeter the year before and I didn't feel comfortable with him so I backed out of it which I'm glad it happened because the sleeve wasn't in mass yet.
