Congrats Danielle! I live in Northwest Ft. Worth (Keller)' date=' scheduled to have my surgery done by Dr. Stowers in Decatur. Been reading many success stories on here! Would be great to have several sleevers local :)[/quote']

Hi! I had my surgery on 3/29 in Decatur with Dr. Kim. Just a heads up, if you are at Wise Regional Medical Center you have to ASK for any pain killer stronger than Tylenol. I had a very rough first night and my nurse told me I couldn't have any more Tylenol for an hour. I then asked if I could have something stronger than Tylenol and they did give me the morphine. :-). The nurse told me I had to ask for it and have a high number on the pain scale. Once I had that I was MUCH better! :-). I liked the nurses and staff. They were very helpful.

Since I'm at Wise Regional, I'm glad to hear the staff is friendly and helpful! I can sure handle asking for drugs if I'm in pain. Surgery is next week (4/25). I'm nervous, excited and about to eat my arm from the liquid diet.. lol

I was sleeved on April 3rd by Dr. Nicholson. Down 25lbs so far. I live in Plano.

Awesome sharpone? Any problems? I was sleeved 4/25 and about the only problem I am having is getting dizzy sometimes during the day for a few hours. Not exactly sure what is causing it.

My only problems have been related to having surgery, not necessarily the sleeve itself. I have had pain in the left side, horribly. At week two, I was feeling better and overdid it planting flowers, resulting in major muscle pain and BURNING for 5 days! Other than the pain, I feel great. I love not longing for food as I did before.

Your dizziness could be pain meds, residual anesthesia etc. I do remember being light headed and weak for several days after surgery. I hope it gets better.

That isn't good to have pain in your side. Is it in the area of the incision? I am helping the dizziness continues to move on out of here :)

      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.
