I was sleeved on March 20th, feeling pretty good now, a little hungry here and there but the Popsicles make a difference.

Sleeved by Dr Stowers in Decatur, and Dr Wright fixed my hiatal hernia. Havnt really felt any pain at all, not even after surgery. Incisions hurt here and there, but the hydrocodone usually gets rid of it.

Hello :)

While I have been sleeved, my husband didn't qualify for insurance so we are looking into the cash pay option.

Specifically someone that doesn't suck and is at or under 10k. We are in the northeast (think rockwall-ish) part of Dallas, but willing to drive a little. We aren't trying to cheap out but 10k is pretty much all we can do.

Recommendations? (Not Mexico, already suggested it and you would have thought I told him to do the surgery himself ;)

I am also a cash patient. I used Dr. Dirk Rodgriguez, he is excellent and cheaper than any of the doctors here in the Dallas area. He also works out of Forest Park Medical off of Central Expressway. He was to perform my surgery 8 yrears ago until my insurance decline the day before. 8 years later, he's still around.

I am doing much better now. My doctor have me on Prilosec for 3 months for acid indigestion. That gas is no joke, trust me I know. I have a problem with trying to make myself eat when I'm not hungry. I just make sure that I get my Protein in no matter what. Hope you get to feeling better soon!

      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.
