I'm glad to know Dr. Richardson is good

Dr. Richardson at Ochsner on Jefferson Hwy What about you?

I thank goodness only had gained about 4lbs on my food funeral... I'm at the end of day two of my pre-op diet... Today was HARD much harder than yesterday was. I was in shock when I saw that in 24 hours I had lost 5lbs! Is your date the 28?

I started my 2 weeks of liquid yesterday. I am getting sleeved on June 28 in New Orleans. Yesterday wasn't too bad. But today has been horrible. I've already had 2 shakes (50grams protein combined) and a few sf Popsicles... Also now I have 'the runs' sorry if that's too much info... I was wondering if anyone else had the same thing?

I'm on the 28th! I started my pre-op diet yesterday and I am already down 5 lbs! Good luck!

Well yesterday my mom made my favorite chicken stew... And today my parents, fiancé and I went to Zeas. My favorite home food an then my favorite restaurant food... Tomorrow my count down REALLY begins! Two week liquid pre-op starts when I wake up tomorrow!

I'm June 28 also! I haven't seen too many with our date. I guess since its so late in the month

Mine has taken 8 months. I did my informational seminar in October 2012 and my surgery is scheduled for June 28. I had to do seminar, meet with surgeon, 6 months of nutritionist, psych eval, barium swallow, labs, and an EKG.

Oops! I saw it was January. Didn't really look at the date. That's even more fantastic!

That's great progress in 6 months! I'm 258 right now and size 22 jeans 2xl shirt. I can't wait to drop pounds and sizes!

I will! That hospital is the closest "center of excellence" to me. We need to keep in touch! I will definitely let you know how everything goes! You let me know too!

She is very sweet! And very supportive! A friend of mine had Laura and like her too.

How's your progress? Where did you have your surgery at? It takes me about 40 minutes to get to the hospital that I'll have surgery at.

Me too! Which of the nutritionists have you been seeing? I have loved my experience with Justine.

Yayy! Finally I find someone with the same hospital! I live in St. Charles Parish. Who's your surgeon? Dr. Richardson is mine

I started in October 2012 with my informational seminar and now after 6 months of nutritionist and all my testing I will have surgery on June 28, 2013! So 9 months from start to finish...

Anyone near South La? I'm having surgery June 28 at Ochsner Main on Jefferson Hwy. anyone else in this area?

Today was my 22nd birthday and hopefully my last FAT birthday! I will be sleeved on June 28, I took a picture today and I can not wait to see what I look like on my 23rd birthday!

Are you from New Orleans or vacationing?

Me too!

Two days before me! Congrats!
