I am looking for a sleeve buddy in my area. :cool0:

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, San Antonio here. . . getting sleeved on December 29th! Yeah!!!!

Tomball Texas here.. Anyone else get sleeved by Dr. Alvarez?

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.

Welcome Kelly, you'll be really happy you got the sleeve. . . good luck to you!

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.

How can a country who gives free health care to foreigners not deny their own when it will not only save lives but it will save moned also, I'm not knocking the foreigners, I just want my piece of the pie. I may have to go to the media but I would prefer not to. I am going to file a grievance.Hopefully it will force a feel people to stand up and listen.

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!

Hi I'm from San Antonio, been sleeved now for 3 months. . . good luck on your adventure.

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 live in Dallas and expect to be sleeved June 8. Belle... maybe I can answer some questions for you ... thought you posted you had some. PM me and we can visit soon.

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 am in the Plano area or for those not in North Texas, "North Dallas". So excited to see so many Texans on here! I have my consult on Thursday.... Can't wait!

Hi! Lavonwarrior

My appt is Thursday also, let's keep in contact and compare note on our progress.
