Dr Hoehn is awesome. He did my sleeve in June and I was so happy that he was my Dr. Just the way he checks for leaks sets him apart from any other Dr. out there. Good luck to all of you having surgery with him!!!!

Hoehn does leak tests?? Kowalski didn't for me?! Is it mandatory?

My guess is that since Kowalski is in the same practice as Hoehn that he uses the same method as Hoehn. I bet you had a leak test and didn't even know it... which is a good thing...

Dr Hoehn takes a different approach on checking for leaks than any other Dr. I have heard of. Most Dr's finish the surgery and then the next day the make you drink barium under x-ray so they can watch for a leak. Dr Hoehns approach is two fold... first right before he finished the surgery he submerges your new pouch in liquid and pumps air into your stomach and then looks for air bubbles... much like looking for a leak in an innertube or tire. Then he puts a scope down your throat and into your new sleeve and inspects the seam. He said he's done well over 700 of these surgeries and NEVER had a leak.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
