I'm in Abita Springs!! Using Dr. Lavin, early August.

Cool, I'm in Mandeville. Maybe we can be exercise buddies. Ohh I need to get with the program. Are you having gp or the sleeve?

I don't know. I am waiting for insurance now. Are you going to utilize your free months at elmwood fitness ? I am wondering if I should use it now while I a strong enough.

Glad everything went so well for you. I am most concerned about oral pain meds. What does he prescribe? I was hoping for liquid. Are you crushing the pain meds?

Okay questions

Any complications either major or minor?

Did you have a drain tube?

How long from sign off of nutritionist, until insurance approved and surgery was preformed?

I am a nervous wreck right now.

Try the jimmy johns unwich- no bread and wrapped in lettuce, I have found food to eat at practically all fast food places except Taco Bell. I am also grain free so I order. Side salad and whatever burger or chicken and toss bun and put on top of salad. Favorite is McDonald side salad and deluxe quarter pounder no mayo, no cheese and cut up veggies and toss with salad---also the New York dog in a boat no bun at Sonic

What Doctor is doing your surgery? I am with Dr. Richardson in New Orleans but I live in Mandeville. How far along are you, have you completed your requirements?

Anyone in the Nola or north shore area having GBP

Three days of liquid is the hardest part. By day four you don't care any more. I've been on liquids for 29 days now. One more to go! Then surgery on Wednesday.

How much weight have you lost on 30 days liquid?

Can anyone tell me how they slept after surgery? On the back, the side, etc. I have a back problem that makes sleeping on my left side the only way I can sleep. What are you experiencing now?
