60 days left until I get sleeved. I have 1 more nutritional visit, psych and regular doc visit. Went through insurance benefit verification. Just waiting to begin my transformation. I feel like I have researched my doctor good enough. I really just wonder why some people don't loose?

I'm in Houston as well, welcome! I'll be 13 months post op on the 11th....

You have to remember the surgery is a tool....and a tool is only as good as its user.....or the tool could not be right for the job, thus the reason why I had revision from lapband to sleeve...

Great and true advice. How are you enjoying the sleeve ?

Houston here also

My final dr appointment was spent talking solely about changing my eating habits and exercising she told me they've had sleeve and bypass patients come back and ask for bands because they changed none of their behavior post sleeve and lost no weight I think alot of us (obesity people)think all we have to do is get the surgery and the weight will fall off we forget all the work we have to do to make it happen

I'm ok...my weightloss has slowed down ALOT since the beginning, so I have to really pay attention to what I eat and how much I exercise....but other than that, no regrets

How much have you lost with the sleeve and in what time frame?

Houston here, one year out on July 7th and 82 pounds gone, 18 to go!

Hi who was your dr and congrats to your success

I went to Dr. Guillermo Alvarez in Piedras Negras, MX, I'd do it again tomorrow

Houston here too! 6 weeks out 21 pounds down. I too revised from the band and would do it over in a heartbeat! Love My Sleeve!

That's great y'all are happy. You all are such great motivation.

Im new and haven't found the intro section but I'm using Dr. Carlos Ferrari in Memorial City. So far everything has gone incredibly smooth. My pre op visit is the 19th and my surgery is scheduled for the 25th. I have Aetna and my pre op insurance requirements were three months supervised diet and a dietitian visit.

Houston here too!!! Dr Scarbourough is my doctor I have my last NUT next month. I'm excited and nervous!!!

Houston here. Surgery is on Monday. Im super nervous but excited. Dr Alanis is performing my surgery.
