Connecticut Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

I find it amusing every hospital seems to be touted as the best in the state. All I can say is I had it at Norwalk Hospital with Dr. Craig Floch. My hospital stay was amazing. The staff was attentive and sympathetic. i had a private room and anything I needed. i was there for 3 days. dr Floch and the PA were there for me when I needed them. i have since lost 90 pounds since Oct 3 and never felt better. This is me, last Saturday, on a trip to Cuba, to see my son Graduate from the international film school there

I live in CT too. I have not been scheduled for my sleeve yet, but I have finished all of the prelims. I too have Dr. Gedeon and like him very much. Bristol Hospital is supposed to have one of the best weight loss surgery programs in the state. I hope to be sleeved by the end of August. This waiting is for the birds!

Nancy, welcome! Luckily the waiting is typically 2 weeks or less (they can have up to 30 days I think, but most are quicker to approve). Good luck!

If you are in contact with a surgeon/bariatric center, they usually have support groups who welcome pre and post op patients.....if not, any hospital that does bariatric surgery usually offers support groups.

HTH.....good luck!

I went to griffin hospital.

I started at Yale about 2 years ago but they wouldn't even let me meet the drs till I finished my 6 months nutritional visits n I was disappointed with the whole process there.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
