  1. OMG! Babygrl1234 you hit the nail on the head. "THE BAND IS THERE TO HOLD OUR PLACE UNTIL WE ARE READY TO PUSH AT LOSING AGAIN"!!! Out of the mouths of babes. You go girl!
  2. hI, I WAS JUST READING ALL LOUISIANA THREADS AND SAW YOU MENTIONED dR. kENNEDY AT OCSHNER. SHE WILL BE DOING MY LAP BAND SOON I HOPE. I TRIED ALL THE HOOP JUMPING TO MAKE HUMANA PAY BUT ITS TAKING WAY TOO LONG. I RATHER SELF PAY AND START LIVING MY NEW LIFE RIGHT AWAY. HOW ARE YOU? SINCE THE SURGERY? I LIVE IN KENNER. DO YOU GUYS GET TOGETHER AROUND HERE?? lET ME KNOW WHEN. I'M VERY INTERESTED.
  3. Thanks for the reply? Raceland is a little far for me....but let me know if you get a group started. thanks,
  4. Hi Everyone! I'm new to the site and love all the positive info. I hope to be banded before the 1st of the year. Just started hoop jumping. I'd love to hear from anyone in Louisiana. I'm from Kenner (just West of New Orleans) Being overweight down here in THE BIG EASY is a way of life. The last 4 generations of my family have all had weight problems, not to mention heart disease, HBP, diabetes etc. I'm ready to STOP THE MADNESS, and pray my children won't have to suffer. Sounds silly...but my only concern is this: I sleep on my stomach. Will I be able to feel the band? After I lose some of the cushion??? Thanks for being there,
  5. Hi, I'm new to the site. I see you saw Dr. Richardson at Ochsner. I have my first appt. with Dr. R. next month. I was wondering if you have Humana insurance and if they covered your WLS?
