Good luck. I was sleeved at Tobey on 6/11/2013 KrUger. Great surgeon. You are making the right choice.

How long did he keep you just wondering if it was just me that he only kept me for one day. Isn't the Tobey staff just wonderful there :)

Has anyone had, or know anyone that has had the sleeve at Mass General?

I surely will--I'll have my phone and hopefully a laptop computer available by the time I get to my room. I'll try to post as soon as I feel up to it!

How you feeling?

I stayed 2 nights. KrUger offered to let me go home after one, but the nurse insisted I stay 2. One even wanted to keep me a third, but I was ready to go.

I had my 9 month follow up with Dr. Kruger a few weeks ago and he didn't know who I was. I had a leak and ended up with 4 surgeries and many visits with him and plenty nights at Tobey and so after all that I was shocked he didn't remember me. Lol

I live about 40 minutes away from Springfield Mass. to live right on the border of Vermont and Massachusetts. I recently moved up from Connecticut to Vermont so So I chose what what I knew would be the best place for me to have the sleeve done.

That's amazing you Lost that much!!!

When I had woken up from surgery all I felt was the need to go back to sleep was so exhausted. I was completely pain free I guess I'm not normal (Lol) I did have trouble moving around in bed though. The nurses kept telling me to push my pain button but I had no need for it. I did have gas pains on my 3rd surgery hot packs helped tremendously.

      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!!
