Any April Sleevers From Ft Worth/dallas?

I am scheduled for April 11th, pending cardiac clearance (never had heart problems, just a family history of). Wondering if any locals are scheduled this month? Much success to all!

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.

I live in uptown Dallas on Katy Trail! I am scheduled to have my surgery on May 15th.... I am so nervous I can't even explain in:/. Any positive comments will help:) thanks!!!!

I see several of you are from Keller. I am in Coppell but most of my family live in Keller. I'm scheduled for surgery with Dr. Nicholson on May 22nd.

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 :)
