Houston-SETX Sleevers?!



Recommended Posts

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 from Beaumont being sleeved in Conroe in 3DAYS!!

You?!

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.

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 changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
