I had my surgery 3/29/11 with Dr. Streeter at Tobey. Uneventful, comfortable and discharged the next day at about 3pm. I am still off work, took plenty of time though I really could have gone back about 10 days ago. First few days at home I was so tired, I slept so much it was hard to get in the walks/water/food. I never took pain meds at home, but utilized the Morphine Drip in hospital. The nursing staff was wonderful!! It is so nice to be somewhere that really specializes in this type of surgery. I have Tufts and did a 6 month program (over the phone) with them, and my whole process with Tobey took about 4 months (not including a delay of about 2 mos. due to me not having the $$ for the group sessions) Hope your surgery went well, and that you are recuperating well!

Sounds like it'll work out fine... there's really not much you could do sitting at the hospital other than wait for a phone call that he's in recovery. 

I think discharge is at like 10 or 11AM but my b/friend worked until 3:00 that day and picked me up after work (like 4ish) they WILL NOT kick him out of his room!!!  Don't bring much cuz they have everything he'll need!!   I brought my ipod/cell phone and charger cuz it's $15 a day for their phone and $15 a day for tv service!      They have WiFi in all the rooms too so if I wasn't sleeping or walking around I was surfing (using my phone) . I got the TV service but was a waste since I was walking around or sleeping most of the time.   Believe it or not surgery/recovery is a breeze and pain free cuz they'll give him medication!!   He'll be just fine!!!!   The hardest part for me was sipping which seemed impossible!!!   Advice to you.... be patient with him and encourage him to get up and walk around once he's in his room!     

Best of EVERYTHING to your hubby and your rejuvenated family!!!!  This is gonna be an amazing journey for all of ya!!!

 I told you.

Kill him.

 Wow, you look great!  Congrats.  Hope even more has come off since then!

Hi everyone, I am 2 years out from my RNY and had stopped losing at 10 months out and have pretty much maintained my weight loss (65 lbs) since then give or take like 10 pounds up and down.  my doc works with another doc at B&W that does this therapy via endoscope.  I have toyed with the idea for about a year and am now seriously consideriing since I am not where I want to be.  I have only lost a little over half of my expected weight loss.  so I am wondering, has anyone heard about this therapy/procedure?  Anyone had it done?  This doc at B&W endoscope invented the procedure and it really isn't done too many places.  Thanks
