I'm one step away from completing my requirements for my insurance. It's seems like it be in August or early September when I will get the sleeve. I'm extremely nervous and back and forth on if this is the right decision or should I just keep struggling with losing/ gaining weight roller coaster. My fear of course is complications and the whole idea of having surgery because I've never had any surgery done before. I hope I'm not the only one with these fears.

In Corpus...so glad I did this. I don't regret this one bit. Started my journey in Jan, had my surgery in May. It was the pits having to wait, but it's good practice with eating, sipping, etc.
Answering your question to ThickGirl5683, I'm one month post now. I drink my liquids just fine. The sipping stopped about 2 weeks post. Thankfully! Still can't chug, but you can drink good. It is hard to cram the liquids and trying to get your food in for the day. It can be done though...and it gets easier every day.
Congrats on your journey hon. Be blessed!!

I had a follow up with Dr Gopal this last time. Do you like him? He's nice, but I didn't take to him as well as Stegemann. Nevertheless, you're in a great office/team.

He is real nice. Very thorough explains the procedure well... Made me feel comfortable. I am just really nervous and worried about getting a leak.

How was the hospital staff? Was anyone allowed to stay with you in the room?

I'm in Houston, too (Katy). My pre-op is tomorrow and my surgery August 1 at Memorial Hermann Memorial City hospital. My surgeon is Dr. Primomo. Anyone else use him? A friend highly recommended him and so far I am pleased.

I am from League City, Tx. I received notice this morning that I have my approval, so my surgery date is 08/16/17! I am so happy that I will be getting the VSG, and getting rid of my Realize band that has NEVER worked. Dr. Du, in Webster and his team are super! They have been very helpful, and I am looking forward to the day when I can say that I am no longer large challenged!

Hello fellow Texans!

I'm from El Paso. I had my VSG October 2016, and have recently hit my goal. Good luck to all and best wishes for a happier, healthier new life!
