Sleeved 10/6/12 by Dr Kelly. I'm feeling successful ; I started at 276 and I'm down to 215. The weightloss has definitely slowed down and my sleeve tolerates anything. No complications, but I had way more swelling than most and could not even get the dye down for the swallow test. I would do it again in a heartbeat but only if I omar were still with Dr Kelly. My life is changed completely.

I was sleeved 9/4/12 by Dr Thomas Borland. I've lost 61 lbs and quite a few jeans sizes (from 240 day of surgery to 179 today) the only 'complication' I had was that the stuff in my lungs after surgery made me cough which led to gagging and slight vomiting, it was a little scary because my surgery was outpatient (I was at the surgery center maybe 7 hours) but I got through it no problem. And I would DEFINITELY do it again, but like the previous poster said -- thank goodness I don't have to! Lol

I called Dr Borland office and a lady at the front desk answered. She was kind of rude. I felt rushed off of the phone. She wasn't at all interested in my questions when I was trying to find out about the payment process when all I wanted to know is if he does payment plans until it is paid in full. Like within six months before scheduling for the gastric sleeve surgery. I'm sure he is a great Doctor but that receptionist was very impolite. Every time I try to email him. He replies back. Contact the office for more information with the phone number. So I've moved on and im still looking. I'm leaning towards Dr Alvarez in Piedras Negras Mexico or Dr Gabriel Rosales.

      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.
