@RealScoobyDoo 94 Posted March 1, 2013 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.

lilstyler 19 Posted March 3, 2013 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trip2thin 3 Posted April 8, 2013 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-- ???? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
