My Texas Sleevers



Recommended Posts

@@ellekay - I went the hernia route with Dr Adam Smith. He has an office in Fort Worth and I'm not sure if he has an office in Dallas.

I don't have hypothyroid issues.

I had Dr. Adam Smith as well and he does not have a Dallas office. I live in Irving and drove to Ft. Worth for all of my appointments. Would have been nice if he did have an office closer.

95lbs down and 4 months post op :)

Dallas! Dr. Nicholson did my sleeve on 5/18. Except for a sore left incision, this has been much easier than I expected. I am on a "regular" diet now. Now I just have to figure out this new way of eating. LOL.

I wish I had specific tips that give me great success. I'd actually probably say that I don't deserve such success.

I just listen to my stomach and body. I stop eating the moment I feel my full feeling. And I weigh myself everyday and plan my food according to how the scale is doing. Always eat my Protein first. I do indulge though. I won't lie. I have half of a small snocone every weekend. I also have a Fitbit to encourage myself to walk more.

Maybe it's because I'm 29? So my age is helping me out? I'm not sure. I'm very thankful for the success I've had so far though.

      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.
