Any Texas Gastric Sleeve Buddies?

Hey Texas Sleevers' date='

I'm not from TX, but have a surgery date in Dallas on Wed 6/22. I expect I will be discharged either Thursday or Friday. I'm traveling alone and trying to figure out a little glitch. I have to be "checked out" by someone. I'll have a place to stay arranged close by, but they aren't sure the hospital will let me take a taxi - going to check on that next week.

Just wondering if someone in the Dallas area might be willing to "check me out". I'm pretty sure it could be arranged towards the end of the day for anyone working and I'll have money for gas to reimburse you.

If you or anyone you know might be willing to help out a future sleever, please let me know. Thanks.[/quote']

Hi! I don't live near Dallas, so I can't check you out, but I was in a similar situation after surgery at Forest Park Medical Center in Dallas in Dec 2012. I was in Dallas by myself and stayed in a hotel. I took a cab to the hospital, had the surgery, and took a cab back to the hotel 2 days later when I was discharged from the hospital. They told me in advance that I had to have my doctor's permission to do this, but apparently Dr. Kim didn't have a problem with it. I did refuse pain medication for the last day in the hospital so that I would be alert when I was discharged. I stayed in the hotel another couple of days to be sure that all was well and I was able to drive home, which was about 200 miles.

I am in Arlington Tx and I was sleeved on Feb 20 and down 28 pounds. My procedure was done by Dr. Frenzel at Forest Park Medical Center. There were no hassles at all from beginning to end and I wish everyone could have the same experience I had. I am so grateful and excited to get this journey going. Next step: clearance to kill it at the gym.
