Any Texas Gastric Sleeve Buddies?



Recommended Posts

Hi there! I'm feeling great. Down 10 lbs in 2 weeks. Started phase 2 yesterday and I'm not liking food right now. Not hungry at all. Will you be going to any of the support group meetings? I plan on going April 2. Don't you just love Dr. Mason?

Yes, I go to the support groups at Physicians Centre 2x per month. I am 4 months out and 75 lbs down. So glad you are feeling good.

Hi I'm Rebecca! I'm scheduled to get the sleeve done on May 15th. My doctor is Dr. Frenzalfrom Dallas, Tx. I'm nervous about the surgery! And I was going to see if anyone knows Dr. Frenzal ? He seems like a pretty nice guy, but I don't know how he is surgery wise.

I am in the Ft Worth area as well. Have you had your surgery? I used Dr David Kim and had my sleeve on Jaan 17th although I am having problems I have not lost any weight and becoming very frustrated.

I was stalled for a month because I was watching carbs. Went to the doc and she said no no no 800 calories a day or less. I promise you literally the very next day my stall broke wide open. Losing 3 pounds every week for 3 weeks.

      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!
