ILOVETEXAS210 12 Posted October 11, 2017 I had my initial consultation today with Dr. Davis, of the Davis Clinic here in Houston. I have a BMI of 39.6, 237 lbs at 5'5, and he's suggesting the Sleeve would be the best option for me. Anyone ever been to the Davis Clinic and had a Sleeve, and if so, how well are you doing with it?

FlyFatA$$Fly 155 Posted October 11, 2017 I didn't go to the Davis clinic, but I had the sleeve. I was 41 bmi, and insurance required a 6 month supervised diet. At the end of the diet I was 36.5 going into surgery. I'm 2 months postop down 30lbs, and feeling great. 1 ILOVETEXAS210 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How's your intake been, are there times you can't keep food down or experience pains after eating or drinking?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Intake varies depending on the type of food I eat, but generally about 3oz. No pains eating or drinking. I've always keep food down, but I make sure when I'm full I stop eating. 1 ILOVETEXAS210 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ILOVETEXAS210 12 Posted October 13, 2017 I’m glad when I hear people are doing well, I’m always afraid I’ll be that one rare person who has a failed sleeve surgery [emoji33] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had surgery 10/03 lost 26.4 lbs and still feel like I'm terrified of failing.
