I didn't see a recent Sleeve buddy post so I thought I would start one. Feel free to post and look for a buddy! Anyone in the Austin Texas recently get sleeved or will be soon? Would love to make some local sleeve friends!

I would love someone to commiserate with and compare notes with. I live in N. Dallas,

Hello! I was sleeved on Feb 12. I’m still in pain from incisions but doing great besides that. I live in Laredo. That south of San Antonio.

I was sleeved 2/19 and I'm struggling with gas pain. Did you have any issues with gas?

Yes, the doctor prescribed me Hyoscyamine 125mg chewable tablets for the stomach cramps and they worked wonders.

Thanks! I'm going to call my doctor now. If my gas pains were under control, I would have no issues at all.

You are very welcome!! Additionally, I needed extra nausea pills because that was a huge issue for myself for at least 2 months

Hi! I’m in Austin and just got my surgery date of April 2nd. I’m a little terrified. ?

I’m looking for a sleeve buddy! March 12 surgery in NYC.

I would love a sleeve buddy. I’m in Houston, Texas, specifically League City. I’d love to get together with someone local. My surgery is next Wednesday.

Good luck to you!

Had my sleeve done august 29, 2017. Im here for anyone who has questions before and after procedure of the sleeve. Im 6 months out and willing to lend an ear or advice to the best of my abilities, i really didnt have anyone when my journey began so would like to be there for you. My highest weight was 277 lost 50lbs on my own then gained then gained 30lbs right back, so i decided to have the sleeve. I was 244 the day of surgery, and now im at 181. I live in Independence Missouri and im 46 years old. I included before surgery pic and after, im so happy with my decision and would love to share my experiences this far.

I'm looking forward to my surgery but I'm scared of failing after I'm able to eat.

Honestly, you wont be able to eat at the capacity you are doing now. They will remove approximately 85% of your stomach, and you have to change how you eat as well. Sugar and carbs will become your enemy, and protein and water will be your best friend! Its not easy and will change your whole outlook about food, but in the end its very rewarding. I never thought i could do it myself, actually felt the same way you did before the procedure. But today, i would do it all over again! I feel so much younger and ready to conquer all my demons (especially the bad foods) they call this a journey for a reason. Make sure you ready to change your life for the better mentally and physically!! Best wishes to you hun?
