Houston Sleevers!



Recommended Posts

I'm new here. I live in The Woodlands and I just started seriously looking into the sleeve a couple of weeks ago. I've spent many hours poring over info online' date=' and today scheduled a consultation with Dr. Balette for 10/2.

I'm not 100% decided yet, especially since my insurance covers no bariatric surgery at all, but I feel like I really have no other choice. Looking forward to getting to "know" some of you better.[/quote']

You will love him... He did me and my wifes sleeve 2 months ago. He is the best

Hello all. I live in Porter. I have my first consultation at TrueResults on 9/27. Does anyone know anything about TrueResults ? I am a cash pay patient. Also, do they (doc office) make you diet before hand ? Nice to know there are people in the area to talk to. Thanks for reading!

I know that if u don't have insurance and going with the sleeve with true results they will not do the surgery inless u have insurance to cover it, and they wouldn't let me pay cash and do it so I went to my first choice who was cheaper and better

      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.
