Joy -

I am also a Texas girl (well transplant anyway) and would love to help you. The sleeve is AWESOME! Best thing I ever did for myself.

Me too Joy, live in san antonio, just been sleeved on the 29th and no problems thus far! Very uneventful surgery other then the stupid IV (but I'm a very hard IV stick ended up with a central line) so far so good. . . a little weird to get used to the tummy reaction to things. . . when my doctor told me it would feel "different" I didn't quite understand what to expect. . . well all i can say it definately is "different" like a pressure or something that makes you stop and think about it. . . don't know how else to explain it. . . good luck when is your surgery?
