No! He thinks I weigh 60lbs less than what I am! I told him I'd tell him my starting weight as soon as I get to my goal!

I'm having my gallbdder removed during surgery too! I have had the worst gallbladder attacks for a few months now. I don't know if I am more excited to be sleeved or have my gallbladder removed!!

I live on the tx/la border texas side. My husband works in many and I'm going to be sleeved in shreveport!

I'm over in Pineland! I'm having my sleeve done is shreveport. Do you know of any support groups in lufkin? I'd love to meet some local people who understand what I'm going through!

Thanks everyone! I appreciate the kind welcome!

Hi! I've been lurking the past few days and wanted to introduce myself! My name is Megan, and I am in the beginning processes of gastric sleeve. I thought about wls about 5 years ago but wasn't ready at that point. I since have done ww and successfully lost 45lbs but for the past year and a half I've been stuck and am done fighting this battle alone! I'm in very rural deep east texas and am using Dr. Merriman out of Shreveport. I attended a seminar about two weeks ago, and had my initial consultation this past Wednesday. I have bcbsil for my insurance and needed a psyc and nutritional evaluation before paper work would be submitted. I had appointments for the 17th and the psych. Called and had a cancellation for the following day so I changed my other appointment and headed back to shreveport! Now I'm waiting for the doctor to submit to insurance! I'm so nervous, and excited! I feel like this is all meant to be as easy as the process is going for me as of right this second (hopefully the other shoe doesn't drop)! I'm enjoying bariatric pal and reading everyone's stories, and it's been so informative. I'm so happy to have found this site!

Hi! I'm am a distributor for advocare and am pre-op. The meal replacement shakes have equal carb to protein ratio (I think it's 24g of carb per Shake) so they are not really advised. The protein supplement is what you should be looking at buying!
