San Antonio sleevers



Recommended Posts

PA Schroeder mentioned Dr Pfluke was deployed but due back soon and that he thought Dr Dickerson was next to deploy????

Elissa you are probably right. It has been a little while since I went to the orientation. I thought there was only 2 surgeons. I think I got a little confused. :(

I go in May 31 (sleeved May 13) to see my Dr and he is going to put me on soft foods. I love spicy foods I wonder if I will ever be able to eat them. :)

I can't do it and I would wait a while before trying if I were you :)

Not a lot but I try to take a powdered laxative like Metamucil in my Water to try to combat that-I'm two weeks out but the Protein Drinks can still do it to you.

Just got a call today to make my second appointment for my sleep study so they can have me start cpap. I guess I won't have my sleeve until probably August.

My Dr wanted me to get a cpap and I told him no until after surgery if I still needed it I would get it. My husband said I don't even snore anymore.

Hopefully they won't take too long to get you set up and maybe you can get it done sooner:)

3 weeks post surgery and Dr said I'm down 30 lbs. How exciting is that!? I know without the surgery it wouldn't be possible.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
