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.

Omg! Same here. I wish I could get away with not eating or drinking. Too much work. But I am 11 days post op and down 14lbs.

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.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
