Looking for Texas Sleevers???



Recommended Posts

I wanted Dr. Spiegel or Dr. Spivak to do my sleeve. I can not afford it so I'm looking into dr. Aceeves. The prices is better for me.

Hi, I have been hanging out in the background for quite a while now. I have learned a lot and I thank everyone here for that. I am getting sleeved April 9th by Dr. Alvarez.

I'm new as well and in Austin. I went for my consultation with Dr. Hadar Spivak in Houston this past Saturday (March 20th). I went in with the idea in my head that I was getting the lapband. I had done research but only on the lapband, not on the gastric sleeve. Once I found out about it my thought was "I am so THERE!".

Hey fellow Texans

Hiya doing? I am in the Dallas Area and still un-Sleeved. I have health problems that causes me to be unable to do the LB and GB. I can only do the Sleeve, but Medicare won't pay for the Sleeve. So I'm between a rock and a hard place because I want this Surgery as bad as I need it. I have several co-morbidities that will go into remission with this surgery. How can a country who gives free health knocking the foreigners, I just want my piece of the pie. I may have to go to the media but I know would prefer not to. I am going to file a grievance.

I am always looking to see who is posting from Texas or even the Houston area. I live in Jersey Village/NW Harris County. However I work in Splendora (in East Montgomery County), just a few miles east of you. I was sleeved in Cypress. Congrats on your loss so far. You seem to be on the right track. This site is extremely helpful whenever you hit bumps along the way. It both encouraging and informative.

Much Success!:)

I'm un-sleeved and haven't even chosen a doctor yet, but I'm here with you guys.

I used to work in Splendora years ago myself - back in the early '80's. Small world!

Hi! I am unsleeved and live near Katy. I have my first appt with Dr. Waggoner this week. Hopefully I will get a time line on how long it will take to get a date. If anyone has used him, I would love to hear your experience.

Thanks

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
