Congrats on your approval! I hope and expect that all will go beautifully for you from here!

I will be interested to see what everyone has to say. I am just starting to look into revising from LapBand to sleeve. If my doc did revisions to sleeve, I would definitely be going back to him...I LOVE ME SOME DR. MARSDEN! But alas, he does not...so I am on the hunt for a sleeve doc in DFW.

I live in North Dallas, and was sleeved by Jeffrey Henke, MD in November. I never had the band, so can't speak to a revision specifically, but Dr Henke is WONderful. He and his partner Joseph Kuhn, MD, have offices at Medical City Dallas and at Baylor.

I am in Plano and will be getting sleeved on Dec. 31 - Dr. Cribbins. My sister had her surgery with him 3 years ago and was very pleased.

There are loads of DFWers here, me included! If you haven't already, I highly suggest you start visiting the many support groups in this area: http://www.bariatricpal.com/topic/259587-dfw-area-weight-loss-surgery-support-groups-list/

      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.
