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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
