Great to hear that you are recovering good and there are no complications!! My endocrinologist recommended Dr. Marvin. Dr Marvin's office submitted my case to insurance, now I wait... I hate waiting!! I totally understand the need/want to see immediate results!! I'm the same way! I live on Barbers Hill Rd. I am 39!! Yes, we absolutely need to talk more :)

This is my first post ever. I just got the sleeve done by Dr. Hollis at Memorial Herman Southeast. I started this journey in January 2013 and started at 392. After my scope on March the 7th he put me on an all Optifast diet. This was 5 8 ounce drinks a day. I cheated a little but stuck to it pretty good. I weighed in at the surgery at 338. A total of 54 pounds. I can tell you that im not soar at all other than the stitches. I drove my car today which is the third day with no issues. I staying on the pain meds about every 6-8 hours so nothing jumps at me. My meals are Optifast in morning with two Multivitamin pills. For lunch i have one optifast and then a sugarfree popsicle. For dinner the same.

I look forward to talkling to the two of us and maybe we can create our own support group here locally. I will join the one at the hospital but would like to have one a little closer also. I currently live in Mont Belvieu.

      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.
