I live in baytown was sleeved on monday 5/13. In houston, tx by Dr. Robert Marvin looking for support alil closer to home ...

I'm in Highlands. I'm also using Dr. Marvin. My surgery will be sometime in June. How are doing? Any complications?

Hi, !!!! How are you? No complications thank god! But I am still sore and get tired very easily and I really wanna eat!! All I do is dream about eating!!!! Lol I live right off Garth by the new Walgreens how did u find Dr. Marvin? A friend of mine had the sleeve done by him and she looks great!!! I've only lost 6lbs in a week ONLY?? Haha I guess I wanna see results now since I havnt eating in a week !! Lol omg we need to talk more!! Lol

Great to hear that you are recovering good and there are no complications!! My endocrinologist recommended Dr. Marvin. Dr Marvin's office submitted my case to insurance, now I wait... I hate waiting!! I totally understand the need/want to see immediate results!! I'm the same way! I live on Barbers Hill Rd. I am 39!! Yes, we absolutely need to talk more

This is my first post ever. I just got the sleeve done by Dr. Hollis at Memorial Herman Southeast. I started this journey in January 2013 and started at 392. After my scope on March the 7th he put me on an all Optifast diet. This was 5 8 ounce drinks a day. I cheated a little but stuck to it pretty good. I weighed in at the surgery at 338. A total of 54 pounds. I can tell you that im not soar at all other than the stitches. I drove my car today which is the third day with no issues. I staying on the pain meds about every 6-8 hours so nothing jumps at me. My meals are Optifast in morning with two Multivitamin pills. For lunch i have one optifast and then a sugarfree popsicle. For dinner the same.

I look forward to talkling to the two of us and maybe we can create our own support group here locally. I will join the one at the hospital but would like to have one a little closer also. I currently live in Mont Belvieu.
