Howdy!

I'm in (far north) Dallas!

Just starting my journey and hoping to get insurance approval (Aetna) by early to mid October. Had my first consult with Dr. Kim on June 15 and will have my first NUT appointment on July 19th.

I'm in downtown Fort Worth. I was sleeved 6/28 in Mexico by Dr. Kelly. I don't have many friends in the area, so I would love to meet people close to me.

For those of you Texans that have been sleeved already, how is it going???

It's going great for me so far! (Knock on wood)...I got sleeved on 6/25 by Dr. David Kim at Baylor Trophy Club.

No complications at all and I was walking 1.5 miles 2 days after surgery! Today, I walked 4 miles!

I don't know how you can get all of that walking in without getting dehydrated. I was walking about 2 miles a night the first few days, but I had to give that up due to sweating out all my fluids. You have ur first follow-up yet?

I'm doing really, really well. I could have gone back to work within 3 days of surgery, but I'm trying to take it easy. I'm going to send a you a message with my number. I'd love to keep up with people close to me if you are interested.

I had my follow-up on Tue 7/3 and they were really pleased. I haven't had dehydration issues as I've been able to handle 48-60 ounces of liquid daily....mostly Water plus my Protein Shake. I try to keep a 20 oz cup of ice water with me at all times and I just keep sipping and re-fill when necessary.

Its crazy to see so many dfw'ers on here. Its GREAT to read how many are feeling good post-op!!

I just had my first visit after surgery and got the OK to drink as much Water as I could tolerate. OMG soooo happy!!

That's awesome. I hope I can work myself up to your level of exercise sooner than later!

Also a lot of us DFW folk that have (or will soon!) Dr. Kim as their surgeon I start my 3-month insurance approval track as of July 19. Hoping to get approved and sleeved sometime in October!

It's fun to read about all the success stories. Glad you are all doing well after surgery!

Hi, I'm from Beaumont and 3 days out doing pretty good!

Im from West Houston near Katy

I'm in Katy, too! Surgery was June 15 and I'm feeling pretty good now!

Moved to Katy from Beaumont last year. I have my surgery on 8/13 with Dr. Alvarez. So glad to connect with others. Nervous and very excited! My good friend from the Beaumont area had surgery a year ago and is doing wonderfully. She keeps telling me, "it is gonna change your life!"
