starr1202 38 Posted June 30, 2013 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

teeny1202 71 Posted July 1, 2013 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? 1 starr1202 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
palmtree 11 Posted July 3, 2013 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 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
starr1202 38 Posted July 23, 2013 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.

Tell me how your experience was when you woke up after surgery??? 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
