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 :)

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
