Welcome, Texas....I'm amazed when folks can get scheduled and have a surgery date in such a short time.

I've been reading through posts from post-op sleevers, and the cool thing is that with his surgery EVERYBODY loses lots of weight. With regular diets most people don't last a month.

Welcome to March Sleevers!

Hi y'all! I'm right outside of Houston in Deer Park. My surgery is March 7th, the day after my 35th birthday. I refuse to be 36 at this weight and with all the health issues I'm on the verge of getting now. I am having my surgery at Memorial Hermann Memorial City by Dr. Erik Wilson. He's awesome, definitely recommend using him if you're around this area. Good luck to everyone, nice to see all us Texans on here. Makes me feel like I have a ton of support right in my backyard!

Deer Park is my old stomping grounds. I went to high school at Rayburn, but had many friends in Deer Park, and got many traffic tickets going up and down Center Street. Now I live up on the other side of Dayton but still work in Pasadena so I'm all around that area all the time.

Very cool. I've had my share of stinking tickets here too! Usually down San Augustine though! Nice to have someone close who's been through this!

Hi there I'm new on this site but so glad I found it. I am a Texan as well and live 20 miles east of Dallas across the lake in Rockwall. Iam 17 months out started my journey at 313.5 and got down to 216 almost a 100 pound loss. While I have been happy with my sleeve. I am starting to feel like my old fat self again. I'm at a stall which I am sure is based on my lack of excercise, and watching my calories like I use too. I am up to 219 and scared to death I'm headed the wrong way. Just wonder if there is anyone out there that like me is starting to feel out of control again? Hates hates hates to count calories and diet, and who does not get a lot of excercise. Are you loosing or stopped? Would love some feedback-- ????

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
