Yes, I'm from San Antonio and had my sleeve surgery done on 3/2/11 with BMI of Texas (Dr. Seger and Dr. Duperier) over at NE Baptist Hospital. They were phenomenal and I had a very positive experience. I am going in for my follow up visit in a few days. Best of luck to you! TR

Dr. Cavazos here - June 10 2010. Just follow his instructions. And come to support group. Sometimes only me or me and one other sleever there. It gets lonely. I've been wondering if any other sleeve folks interested in asking them to get us together as our own group once in a while.

Hi, I'm new to this too!! and my surgery is scheduled for March 21st too!! Unfortunately I live 1000's of miles away in Australia (Perth), It would have been so awesome to have met somebody on here having surgery on the same day and Hospital etc... but I hope to see your future posts to see how you are going, at least we will know what each other is going through!!

I will have some comfort in the fact that whatever I am going through you are too.. Mind you, our timezone is before yours so technically I will be having my surgery first! eek! :o I wish you the best of luck and a super-speedy recovery :)

Hi again! I didn't have to do any pre surgery diet for Dr. Cavazos. . just follow his advice and do what they tell you and you'll do great. . . in the first 2 weeks i lost just over 20 lbs and in 7 weeks i lost 53lbs. . . all together 150 lbs in the first year. . . now i've gained a bit, but at least its not back to 350 lbs !!! Can you imagine! Thanks on the confidence vote! The bit of advice i do have for you is after the surgery, DONT just stay in the bed, get up no matter what pain level your at. . . walk and walk and walk. . . and of course sip sip sip your Water and popsicle they give you. . . (by the way, the Water will taste awful so use the crystal lite they leave) Oh are you at Foundations hospital or NE Baptist? Good luck and your going to do fabulous. . . only a few more days!

      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.
