Any Texas sleevers in here? I'm a 31 yr old mom of 2(5 & 7), live around Dallas. My surgery is on Feb 9th. Just looking for a good group of people that chat with. I can't relate to older folks having surgery, as I really think the recovery & life struggles will be different because of age.

I live in the Dallas area @@Cws3403 I had surgery with Dr Nick on 4/14 he's awesome. I for my first checkup tomorrow.

I am 34, live in south arlington and had my surgery may 18.

I am almost at day 4 post op. When will I feel normal again and stop walking like hunchback of Notre dame ?

Ft Worth Texas here

As far as feeling normal again it took me just a bit over a month to feel normal. And I never walked hunched over after my surgery so I'm not sure about that one.

I concur. It's been 4 weeks from my surgery today. I just went back to work. It really took 2.4-3 weeks before I felt semi-normal. I was pretty shocked and disappointed initially bc it seems that many people have an easy recovery. I normally bounce back quickly but this was not the case with the sleeve. I never regret doing it, and I was very prepared for what could happen, I just always thought what could happen would not happen to me. Again, I had no major leaks but I did pull an internal stitch (worst pain I've ever had), had hibernation syndrome, and hit the annoying "3 week stall" in the middle of week 2 for a out 10 days.

Stay positive. It will get so much better and easier. Just listen to what your body needs because your body will speak to you in a language only you can understand. Hope all is well!

I'm late to the party. I'm from Texarkana but drove to Dallas and had my band removed and sleeve performed by Dr. Frenzel 6/12/15. I'm really sore where the port was but its getting better and I don't have that burning sensation when getting up now. Liquids at 1st were really hard for me to get in, I'm prone to dehydration and have ended up in the hospital more than once because of it so I'm determined to stay hydrated, not to mention how awful it makes you feel. I have sharp pains off and on in between my breast, I'm assuming that's just everything messed with getting readjusted. My incisions are starting to itch but I'm dreading these staples being pulled out.

I live in NW FTW area. Just had my first pre-op apt last week. Doing a Body Comp tomorrow and Psych eval next week. I'm so anxious to get the surgery done. My surgeon will be Adam Smith.

I live in a very small town of Graham Tx. Just south West of Fort Worth. I had surgery on June 5 2015 with Dr Dirk Rodriguez in Dallas at pine Creek Medical. Fabulous experience. I have lost 22 pounds in the first month. I am pretty satisfied with the results. Considering I had a 17 day stall as soon as I could eat regular food again.

I live in Llano. Rougnly 1/3 the size of Graham. I am having surgery in San Antonio with Dr Reiss. It's about a 2 hr drive for me, as there is nothing where I live. There is another lady in town that had hers done in Temple this Monday. I am counting down the days.

Sad Hatter I went to college with a girl who lived in Llano at one point. Nice girl. I hope you are excited about surgery. First few weeks are tough but it's so worth it. All the luck in the world to you!!

Thank you!

Dr Smith was my surgeon! I got the sleeve on 3/25. You're in good hands!

I live in Frisco and work in Dallas. I'm having the band to sleeve revision on Aug 11 with Dr. Carlton form the Nicholson Clinc

Late to the party as well, but I live on the outskirts of Houston in Baytown. My insurance had a WLS exclusion so I will be getting sleeved 3 weeks from today in Mexico, just across the border from Eagle Pass.
