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

Isn't that him on the billboard just outside of Forest Park Med Center? I didn't notice him being good looking but you can bet I will be taking a second look just to check.

Dr. Barker is very nice looking. He is a fellow RED RAIDER so that was a plus. He helped with starting Forest Park. He is very nice and his staff is awesome too!!!!

Dr. Barker is super-hot in person. His ads don't do him justice. Of course, that's just a perk. He's an excellent surgeon first of all. He did 5 procedures during my surgery in January, plus my original lapband in 2006. I trust him completely when it comes to scalpel skills!

I am in Tomball, TX. Sleeved February 9th. I didn't see this thread until now.

Hi! I am in Houston (West U/Rice Village area). Anyone been sleeved by Dr. Nowzaradan? I met with him the first time and really liked him! Let me know if you have heard anything about him or his practice. I am a little nervous because it seems like he has several practices. Is that normal?

I'm in the Houston area also. Surgery date 8-16-10, liquid diet pre-op stage now.

My surgery is scheduled for 8-19-10 I start the diet on Saturday. Who is your surgeon? Is the liquid thing as hard as I think it will be?

Dr. Yu.

Liquid isn't so bad. After about 3 days your don't have the the cravings really at all. Just stay away from food smells when you feel hungry.

On my liquid diet now. Hope you are doing well and hopefully out of surgery and recovering. I go tomorrow for the pre-ops at the hospital and then thursday the 19th I am scheduled at 9:00 to get VSG. I can't wait to hear from you and see how well you have done.

hi from killeen

very new here and waiting to get my surgery date. very excited! wootwoot! *doin the happy dance*

Hi all. I'm in Wylie. I am currently banded since 2005 but it's comin' out in about 9 days and I'll be sleeved then as well. :thumbup1:

I live in Katy and was sleeved on 8/31! I used Dr. Felix Spiegel and feel great. I'm on my way to Target to get rid of some gas..LOL. It's hard to get all the protein in but my friends say that it gets easier every day and before you know it you are eating real food again and still losing weight. I'm so happy to be starting this new chapter in my life!

Hi Everyone. I'm in Houston (near jersey village). Its good seeing people on this website near my area. My sleeve is scheduled for Wednesday, Sept. 8th. Like most of you, I hear the gas is the biggest downfall. I'm hopeful. Good luck to all. Keep posting!
