Nice to meet u but for me its between 2 doctors. Dr Marquez @ southwest and dr ganta @ austin bariatics. I did not like dr langoria @ seaton bariatics he was too cocky for me.

I'm in northeast Texas close to Longview or Texarkana. I'm two hours from Dallas or Shreveport LA. I have consulted with Dr George Merriman in Shreveport. I can't decide if I like him or not. Anyone use him?

So now I am scared I have had to 3 flare up's of pain all over my body but not my stomach. When this pain his i cant do anything not even hold my now 4 mth baby girl. My pcp is trying to rule things out cause she thinks it fibromyalga can't spell sorry. I sure hope not I had my blood taken I cant even count for this and for that and so nothing just that I might be pre diabetic.

So my question is Can I syill grt sleeve if I have fibro?

I have not told the sleeve doctors anything. I think need to know case and right now they don't need to know till I get my surgery date.

Can someone answer the question for me please.

Thank you all so much.

There are a few people on this forum with fibromyalgia and other autoimmune diseases that have been sleeved. It shouldn't prevent you from being sleeved.

I have Multiple Sclerosis I wondered if I could have the surgery. From what I was told I wouldn't have any problem & my neurologist would have to give me the ok. Talked to my Neuro & he thought it was a good idea for his patient & said there shouldn't be any issues. I have been DX for 2yrs. I'm current stable. I do have concerns that I will have a flare up after surgery, it's a risk with any surgery & a autoimmune disorder. There is the option of putting the fibro or whatever autoimmune disorder on the back burner (hush hush) until after surgery. DX these type disorders can take mths or yrs & u don't want ur surgery put off till then. Also don't rush the DX or fibro. DRs told me it basically means they don't know. There maybe another autoimmune disorder that hasn't fully shown itself. Sorry for the book! Lol!

      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.
