Yes, I'm from San Antonio and had my sleeve surgery done on 3/2/11 with BMI of Texas (Dr. Seger and Dr. Duperier) over at NE Baptist Hospital. They were phenomenal and I had a very positive experience. I am going in for my follow up visit in a few days. Best of luck to you! TR

Dr. Cavazos here - June 10 2010. Just follow his instructions. And come to support group. Sometimes only me or me and one other sleever there. It gets lonely. I've been wondering if any other sleeve folks interested in asking them to get us together as our own group once in a while.

Hi, I'm new to this too!! and my surgery is scheduled for March 21st too!! Unfortunately I live 1000's of miles away in Australia (Perth), It would have been so awesome to have met somebody on here having surgery on the same day and Hospital etc... but I hope to see your future posts to see how you are going, at least we will know what each other is going through!!

I will have some comfort in the fact that whatever I am going through you are too.. Mind you, our timezone is before yours so technically I will be having my surgery first! eek! :o I wish you the best of luck and a super-speedy recovery :)

Hi again! I didn't have to do any pre surgery diet for Dr. Cavazos. . just follow his advice and do what they tell you and you'll do great. . . in the first 2 weeks i lost just over 20 lbs and in 7 weeks i lost 53lbs. . . all together 150 lbs in the first year. . . now i've gained a bit, but at least its not back to 350 lbs !!! Can you imagine! Thanks on the confidence vote! The bit of advice i do have for you is after the surgery, DONT just stay in the bed, get up no matter what pain level your at. . . walk and walk and walk. . . and of course sip sip sip your Water and popsicle they give you. . . (by the way, the Water will taste awful so use the crystal lite they leave) Oh are you at Foundations hospital or NE Baptist? Good luck and your going to do fabulous. . . only a few more days!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
