Looking for Texas Sleevers???



Recommended Posts

I wanted Dr. Spiegel or Dr. Spivak to do my sleeve. I can not afford it so I'm looking into dr. Aceeves. The prices is better for me.

Hi, I have been hanging out in the background for quite a while now. I have learned a lot and I thank everyone here for that. I am getting sleeved April 9th by Dr. Alvarez.

I'm new as well and in Austin. I went for my consultation with Dr. Hadar Spivak in Houston this past Saturday (March 20th). I went in with the idea in my head that I was getting the lapband. I had done research but only on the lapband, not on the gastric sleeve. Once I found out about it my thought was "I am so THERE!".

Hey fellow Texans

Hiya doing? I am in the Dallas Area and still un-Sleeved. I have health problems that causes me to be unable to do the LB and GB. I can only do the Sleeve, but Medicare won't pay for the Sleeve. So I'm between a rock and a hard place because I want this Surgery as bad as I need it. I have several co-morbidities that will go into remission with this surgery. How can a country who gives free health knocking the foreigners, I just want my piece of the pie. I may have to go to the media but I know would prefer not to. I am going to file a grievance.

I am always looking to see who is posting from Texas or even the Houston area. I live in Jersey Village/NW Harris County. However I work in Splendora (in East Montgomery County), just a few miles east of you. I was sleeved in Cypress. Congrats on your loss so far. You seem to be on the right track. This site is extremely helpful whenever you hit bumps along the way. It both encouraging and informative.

Much Success!:)

I'm un-sleeved and haven't even chosen a doctor yet, but I'm here with you guys.

I used to work in Splendora years ago myself - back in the early '80's. Small world!

Hi! I am unsleeved and live near Katy. I have my first appt with Dr. Waggoner this week. Hopefully I will get a time line on how long it will take to get a date. If anyone has used him, I would love to hear your experience.

Thanks

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
