Sleepless in Houston! Is there anyone else out there?



Recommended Posts

So, I've been approved!! I'm so excited, however, I'm so nervous. Sometimes I doubt my decision to proceed, but my gut instinct is telling me this is what I need to do. Some of you may be familiar with my previous post where I was desperate to get my husband's support. Nothing has changed with him as of yet but I wonder if that is why I'm doubting myself so often lately. Anyhoos, I was just looking for someone locally that I could chat with: pre-sleevers & post-sleevers. My surgeon, Dr. Robert Marvin, is very infomative. But there's nothing like being able to chat it up with someone that's been in your shoes or can relate to what you're going through. I invite any and all feedback...even if you're not in the greatest city in Texas...Houston ;) !!

I'm equally as nervous. I was approved 8/12 and will be getting sleeved next week. I'm not sleeping well and hating my Protein shakes. Ugh!! Do you have a date yet? Btw Dallas is by far the greatest city in Texas. :)

Hi Alota Luv-

I live in Katy on the west side of Houston. I am almost 6 months out and very happy with my choice to have surgery. I would be happy share my experiences with you and trade support! :)

I live in Houston, have you been sleeved already? I will be sleeved on the 13th. I would love to have someone to talk with, so send me a message. I am getting nervous but looking forward to my new tool.

I am in Houston and was Sleeved on August 10. Time flies post surgery, just be diligent about what you are supposed to do. This is a tool to help you change your life. It doesn't do all the change for you, you gotta help it out. Think of it like a hammer, you couldn't possibly hit a nail into the wall without a hammer but a hammer can't hit it into the wall by itself, you still have to swing the hammer. Work with the sleeve, do what is required of you, make the changes you need to make, and all will be well.
