It's seems like it be in August or early September when I will get the sleeve. I'm extremely nervous and back and forth on if this is the right decision or should I just keep struggling with losing/ gaining weight roller coaster. My fear of course is complications and the whole idea of having surgery because I've never had any surgery done before. I hope I'm not the only one with these fears. I am in Houston too and should have the surgery in late August or early September. I am on month 4 of the 6 month nutrition requirements. What doctor? Mine is Todd Wilson at UT. 1 Sugar42 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
