I am in Mesquite! My date is June 15th..........eeeek!

Hi! I'm in Austin. :thumbup:

Sleeved a week ago yesterday in Dallas by Dr. James Davidson. Basically NO pain after surgery. I had a migrine that was a killer, a side affect from the paid meds, but once I could take MY prescription meds the next morning I was 'tender' but pain free. I took Tylenol w/Cod only at night to help me relax and sleep, but mostly so I could sleep on my side comfortably...and did that for six nights. I love the sleeve, I have NO hunger, very weird feeling. I am having trouble getting in enough protein. It has not happened yet. :biggrin0: How about you that are a year or more out, does the hunger come back at all? I am so full trying to get in protein, it is uncomfortable.

I almost hate protein at this point. I get close but have yet to get it all in. I have been taking an Atkins shake and adding a scoop of Isopure. That is 40 right there. I usually get 3/4 of it down before I decide I just can't stand anymore. Are you coming to the class on Monday? I would love to meet you. I think the doc did a bang up job as far as pain goes. Once I get these staples out I will be a much happier camper. I long for cream Soups.

Hey everyone! Wow tons of ppl from tx. Who new?! Anyone close to east tx? I still have a long wait for mine but would love updates on everyones progress and pix! Good luck to all who are waiting and congrats to all that are losing!

I'm from Texas but closer to Beamont/Orange area,sleeved in April by Dr. Marvin in Houston. Carla

I am a lot happier with the staples out! He left one, the one in my navel and it came out a couple of days ago, and I'm glad. I was patting dry after my shower and it ended up on the towel! Anyway, I am in Galveston this week, but will be at a nutrition class the a week from tomorrow, will you be there? I'd love to meet you too. I agree, I think he did a bang up job. I am totally off of pain meds for two nights now. I'm doing cream soups now. I'm trying to be creative. This Protein business is driving me nuts. I'm sitting at a Star bucks now but coffee isn't good to me any more. I hope that doesn't last. I brought my own decaf iced tea, my husband is drinking coffee. We have no internet at the beach house. What a bummer! Oh well....I'll be back and check my email etc. in a couple of days! Take care!!! Glad you are doing well. Hope to meet you soon!!

I have the class on Monday and after that I don't know know my next appointment. Please do keep in touch.

I am in Dallas. My surgery is scheduled for August 16 with Dr. Barker. I hope the next 9 weeks fly by. I am so ready to be a "Barker's Babe"...

Hello fellow Texans, I just got sleeved June 16,2009. Today I'm walking the air out, whew....

Hi Lil Red Raider - from one Barker's Babe to another! Everytime I see his commercials on TV I think - "Dang - they need to do a close-up of him so everyone can see how cute he is. He'd get even MORE business!" Ha! And his billboards - he's so tiny on them. He needs to put that million-dollar face out there for everyone to see. Our own personal Dr. McDreamy...
