I'm reading mixed reviews but they are also surgeons at a Center of Excellence hospital? Are they great surgeons? How was your overall experience? Do you any recommendations of a great surgeon in the TX area?

How is everyone doing? I'm nervous and excited! I hope I can handle my classes and surgery.

Well I'm 21 and now that I'm more adjusted to this life style it is easier but at around 2 months I was depressed. It was hard seeing others eat. As for the the surgery itself I still get anxious about hurting my stomach and stretching it out but I still can't eat much and I'm full off go my protein shakes for a good 3 hours. I'm still working on the snacking issue, and drinking more water, and getting in all my protein/vitamins but that is just me. I am 6 months post-op now and things are still tricky for me but I would do it all over again. You really have to put the sleeve first to be successful. Good Luck

I like beneprotein, it's unflavored and whey protein isolate which my NUT wants me eat/drink. I like it because it is easy to get in, and I mix it with silk light chocolate.

I'm sending out good vibes to you Good Luck!

I don't but I remember waiting and calling in for updates. It was very stressful. But now I'm 6 months post op and it feels like everything happened so fast.

I wonder if he is just really worried or being a jerk or maybe both. I hope you make the best decision possible for YOU. Good Luck!

You look great!

Look at you! Great job

Congratulations I'm happy to hear you are doing well! Remember to walk and sip..

"Nut up or shut up" lol that movie was to funny! I'm not a fan of walking but I love the concept of being able to run. Baby steps

I hear people already telling me not to lose too much weight because I will look sickly. But I think that can be avoided with taking vitamins/water/protein. I'm 21 so I'm hoping that will help too. But I am going to start therapy, and hope it will help with the whole adjustment. Good Luck

Good Luck!

Hi, I was wondering because I'm the one who takes care of our 7-month lab mix the most. He is 52lbs right now. He can be 10lbs heavier in a month, and he is very hyper. I'm finding out my surery date this Friday, and I'm hoping its a January date. Any input would be appreciated. Thank You!

Hi, I'm sleeved! I remember them putting me to sleep then next thing I know I'm in the recovery room. In the recovery room I was so medicated I don't recall much and the pain was not bad at all for me! It just felt sore and like a tummy ache. I slept a lot afterwards and the nurses would check my vitals and take my blood. The Heprin shot burns but for 45 seconds. It hurts to get out of bed, but I walked twice last night. I just went to take my leak test and I passed! I'm waiting for the nurses to bring me some clear diet food. I don't have gas pains but I've been farting lol and burping. If I tolerate the Clear liquids, I can go home today. But I wouldn't mind staying another night, the nurses are great and my bed is comfy haha Thank you for the prayers and well wishes And I hope everyone surgery a went well!

Hello, They just put in my IV, that did not hurt, now I'm 2 patients away from being Sleeved! My moms with me and I'm not to nervous. I will keep you all updated Pray, wish me luck and all that good stuff! Thank You

Thank You
