  • I'm in Beaumont, got sleeved in Dec. over in League City. Good to find a fellow Golden Triangler. Kinda strange, but it made me feel better just knowing there were fellow sleevers in my area.

Houston area, 10.5 weeks post-op. If you're being sleeved in Conroe, I'm guessing your surgeon is Dr. Collier? He did mine. :)

I'm having my surgery March 5th at Memorial Herman at Memorial City....

None at all. I was back to work less than a week later. I needed no pain meds once I left the hospital. The first week was rough because I couldn't stand the Isopure Clear, but once I started purees, life was much more manageable. I've not vomited once since 2 days pre-op. I can handle everything I've tried. I eat pretty much everything I used to - just crazy smaller amounts now. I did cut all carbonation when I started my pre-op and haven't touched it again since. It's actually been very easy.

As of this morning, I'm down to about 250-251, so I'm super close to the 50lb mark now. I'm not the fastest loser, but I'm consistent and I'm actually kind of happy it's coming off at a "normal" rate of about 2lbs per week. I'm hoping it makes my skin bounce back easier!

I feel great and I love my new relationship with food. It doesn't own me anymore. I eat when I'm hungry. Stop when I'm full (which doesn't take much!) I don't deprive myself. If I want something sweet, I have a bite or two - and honestly, that's enough for me. I've dealt with food demons my whole life and I'm starting to understand that this is what a "normal" relationship with food is like. I love it!

Good luck!!

Hey Beatriz! I would love to keep in touch with you. :) It looks like my surgery won't be until June. Still jumping through insurance hoops. If I had the money I would have already gone to Mexico myself and had this done. LOL.

I'm in Kingwood. I'm two months post op and FINALLY starting to feel good. I had some complications from a stomach virus at three weeks but I'm getting on track.
