Anyone in Texas?

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.

      I'm in Rosenberg. I had the bypass in November 2016. Best thing I have ever did for myself. Just had my 6 month check up and I'm good for a year. No complications at all!

      Someone recommended the Bariatastic App and it's helping me eat and drink. I set reminders for both and every time when the alert goes off, I drink something or eat a snack/lunch. August 12 is my surg

    I'm in Richmond. I'm having VGS and my surgery date is 8/10. My doctor is Dr. T Jayakumar and I'm having surgery at Hermann-Mermorial City.

    For those that have had surgery at MHMC, how was it? How was the staff?

    I am having my surgery there on August 1 with Dr. Primomo. So far, all the staff I have encountered for my endoscopy and my pre-op were wonderful! I am hoping the same for the surgery. Others I know who had their surgery there said everyone was very kind.

    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!!
