Yes I've met him once, he laughed at after reading my occupation was a" Domestic Goddess". After that he was all business. I'm not too put off by his shortness. I have one appointment with him before my pre open appointment which is weird since my insurance approval hasn't been sent yet. Guess that's how southcoast works.

Dr. Kruger did my sleeve and I agree he doesn't have the best bed side manner. From people I know that work with him say he's like that because he is a good surgeon and he knows it. He was very nice to me when I saw him in the hospital. A little more talkative and stayed more than 2 minutes.

Dr Streeter did my sleeve. He and his staff were great! My roommate was a nightmare, BUT I've lost 100 pounds! Last summer sucked but this summer has been amazing so far!! Going to the beach all the time, lobster salad and I even had my first drink since surgery. ( a lite Cosmo )!

Life is good :)

Hello Missy815

Did you have to do a liquid diet for southcoast? I am down 14 pounds was told by a NP unless I was 400lbs or more not to worry about losing a large amount before surgery. She just said keep losing and don't worry about it.

I didn't have any pre-op liquid diet for Dr. Kruger. The only dietary restrictions they put on me pre-op was the day before surgery: nothing but liquids after noontime, and absolutely nothing after midnight.
On my own, I did give up coffee and tried to eat healthier between April (my first consultation) and my surgery date (which ended up being in July of last year). I lost 18 pounds pre-op that way.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
