Connecticut Sleevers?

[k081176 1]

I was just sleeved on January 8th. I was a band to sleeve. I would love to talk to others about issues or concerns or even just to walk. I live in Milford CT.

Not a sleever, well, pre-op, but looking into bypass. Anyone had their procedure done at Griffin??? And out of curiosity, why did you choose sleeve or bypass?

[michael1220 0]

Personally I chose the sleeve due to the risks and malnutrition that is common with bypass. The sleeve only affects the stomach instead of the bypass which affects the small intense. I did not want band due to having for a foreign object in my body.

I figured I can have a similar loss with sleeve as I would with bypass. I know I will need to "work" harder with the sleeve and I am okay with that.

I was looking at Griffin, but I really liked the Doctor at Yale. They have years of experience performing these surgeries and often travel around the country to train other doctors to perform these types of surgeries.

I agree with Michael about my choice as well. Although I did have a band, it was not working for me.

I had my surgery on Dec 3rd and was discharged on the 5th. No complications. Pain was managed very well in the hospital as well as meds at home. It was a great experience!

Fantastic! I am sensitive to pain meds. What kind did they give you?

Dr. Craig Floch is my doctor.....Can't say enough good things about him and his practice....their follow up care is the best. Wishing you both the same, wonderful experience I had from preop to postop.....good luck.

.....however, Dr. Fridman was the doctor who saw me in recovery right after surgery and liked him too
