Congrats Danielle! I live in Northwest Ft. Worth (Keller)' date=' scheduled to have my surgery done by Dr. Stowers in Decatur. Been reading many success stories on here! Would be great to have several sleevers local :)[/quote']

Hi! I had my surgery on 3/29 in Decatur with Dr. Kim. Just a heads up, if you are at Wise Regional Medical Center you have to ASK for any pain killer stronger than Tylenol. I had a very rough first night and my nurse told me I couldn't have any more Tylenol for an hour. I then asked if I could have something stronger than Tylenol and they did give me the morphine. :-). The nurse told me I had to ask for it and have a high number on the pain scale. Once I had that I was MUCH better! :-). I liked the nurses and staff. They were very helpful.

Since I'm at Wise Regional, I'm glad to hear the staff is friendly and helpful! I can sure handle asking for drugs if I'm in pain. Surgery is next week (4/25). I'm nervous, excited and about to eat my arm from the liquid diet.. lol

I was sleeved on April 3rd by Dr. Nicholson. Down 25lbs so far. I live in Plano.

Awesome sharpone? Any problems? I was sleeved 4/25 and about the only problem I am having is getting dizzy sometimes during the day for a few hours. Not exactly sure what is causing it.

My only problems have been related to having surgery, not necessarily the sleeve itself. I have had pain in the left side, horribly. At week two, I was feeling better and overdid it planting flowers, resulting in major muscle pain and BURNING for 5 days! Other than the pain, I feel great. I love not longing for food as I did before.

Your dizziness could be pain meds, residual anesthesia etc. I do remember being light headed and weak for several days after surgery. I hope it gets better.

That isn't good to have pain in your side. Is it in the area of the incision? I am helping the dizziness continues to move on out of here :)

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
