Are there any Dallas or surrounding areas sleevers here? ?????

I'm in Fort Worth and my surgeon is Dr. Kuhn 6/13. Began pre op diet today.

What did your pre op diet consist of if I may ask? Dr. Kuhn is also my surgeon and my day is 8/19/13

So far, through conversation, I've discovered that every doctor's diet is a little different.

Mine had me on liquids for one week prior (1-2 weeks depending on BMI). It was pretty much whatever liquid (sugar free of course) up to 48hrs before surgery. Then clear only. That's about it.

I also was back on small portions of real food at starting at 2 weeks and added certain things until 8 weeks. At 8 weeks it was whatever I could handle.

I am in North Dallas and am using Dr. Dirk. Nice to 'meet' you all!

Howdy! I live out West in a little town called Eastland, but I had my surgery on 7/1 by Dr. Adam Smith in Fort Worth!! Only 8 days post-op and I am STRUGGLING! Praying for improvements!!

Why are you struggling? Pain, or other issues? I'm getting sleeved on Wed. I'm interested in joining the support group as well.

I'm happy to say that I WAS struggling! I couldn't get liquids to go down... even the smallest baby sip felt like a huge gulp! I went in to see the doc and he did another swallow test and found that my sleeve was almost swollen shut.... and clogged with mucus. He gave me steroid shot and it was better the next day! I can take normal drinks now!!!

Hi! I was sleeved June 19 by Dr. Nick Nicholson at victory medical in Plano. I've have a great experience and loving my sleeve. I hope to make a meeting sometime.

I may be interested in the future. As of now I just don't see myself ever going with school starting. What's it like? I've wondered if it was worth it.

I'm getting the sleeve done in September in Forest Park. I'm a little nervous, but am hoping this network will help me out.
