I am one week out. I can tell you that I miss food. There is nothing more that I want then some hot french fries. But there is no way I regret my decison. I'm looking forward to do day that I can look in the mirror and feel good about myself, or I can climb a couple flights of stairs with out feeling like I'm going to die.

Hey y'all. I was wondering if we had anyone from New Orleans in the group. I'm looking to start a meet up for local sleevers. If you interested let me know.

I have two names for mine. When it is in a good mood - it's Steve, the Sleeve. When it's grumbly, I refer to it as Grouch, the Pouch. (probably not the most original names.)

My surgeon suggested that I quit but didn't demand it.

I just came back from x-ray getting a leak test and I get the drain removed in the morning and I should be discharged tomorrow afternoon or tomorrow evening.

Greetings everyone,
I am currently residing in Baton Rouge, but I go walking and now bicycling in New Orleans every Saturday. I was just sleeved on May 11, 2012 in Mexico. The experience was great and life changing. I hope that I can make some friends here and exchange some experiences and such.

Thanks and good luck!

Hello! My name is Samantha and I'm 23 years old. I'm currenlty living in New Orleans, La and I'm a full time bar tender. I was sleeved just 8 short days ago. So far I'm feeling amazing.
I had my sleeve done by Dr. David Treen at West Jefferson Hospital in Marrero, La on Monday April 30th at 7:30 am. It was a pretty easy time for me all and all. He said the surgery went perfect and there was nothing to worry about. I went to my mothers house after a one night hospital stay. I took my last dose of pain medication on Tuesday May 1st at 8:30pm. So far I haven't had any real pain to speak of.
I guess that I'm posting this to inruduce myself. When I started my jounrey I joined another forum, that I love, but have found that there is not many sleevers on there. I came here in hopes to find some of the answers me and the other sleevers are looking for.
I hope to be a strong part of this forum and that I get to make lots of new friends a long the way.

51 lbs is awesome! Congrats and good luck with your surgery.

Leaving for the hospital in an hr and 15 min...please pray for me. I feel anxious but not scared. I will just be happy to be on the losers bench and moving on to a different stage of this!! I will post when I can...and all the other 15th sleevers are in my thoughts too!!

I sure did.... Who knew losing weight would be this easy lol.. Gonna make surgery look like a piece of cake.... Uh probably shouldn't have said cake...

That's good! Wishing you the best in your continued recovery.

Thanks everyone. It's awesome the amount of support there is.

Sorry if I'm over zealous! I just thought this would never be a reality, and now just a few months away, I can't help but be excited. Don't count me out cause Im a sleeve virgin.

Hello my name is Irene and I'm from Ohio. I was sleeved on the same day, April 30th at 1:30pm. My surgeon also said things look perfect and I've been feeling pretty good and getting back to some walking. I look forward to following your journey as we both have the same surgiversary date.
