Any Texas Gastric Sleeve Buddies?



Recommended Posts

Hi there! I'm feeling great. Down 10 lbs in 2 weeks. Started phase 2 yesterday and I'm not liking food right now. Not hungry at all. Will you be going to any of the support group meetings? I plan on going April 2. Don't you just love Dr. Mason?

Yes, I go to the support groups at Physicians Centre 2x per month. I am 4 months out and 75 lbs down. So glad you are feeling good.

Omg! Same here. I wish I could get away with not eating or drinking. Too much work. But I am 11 days post op and down 14lbs.

Hi I'm Rebecca! I'm scheduled to get the sleeve done on May 15th. My doctor is Dr. Frenzalfrom Dallas, Tx. I'm nervous about the surgery! And I was going to see if anyone knows Dr. Frenzal ? He seems like a pretty nice guy, but I don't know how he is surgery wise.

I am in the Ft Worth area as well. Have you had your surgery? I used Dr David Kim and had my sleeve on Jaan 17th although I am having problems I have not lost any weight and becoming very frustrated.

I was stalled for a month because I was watching carbs. Went to the doc and she said no no no 800 calories a day or less. I promise you literally the very next day my stall broke wide open. Losing 3 pounds every week for 3 weeks.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
