I have just started my journey with Dr Merremen here in Shreveport. I was wondering if there were any others out there that have had experiences with him. Lemme know!:help:

I am not using Dr. Merremen, but I saw you were from Shreveport and wanted to say hi. I am from Jonesboro, Louisiana (about 2 hours from you) I am a self pay and am going to use Dr. Lavin in Covington Louisiana (hopefully). I am still waiting on my paperwork. I was going to use Dr. Benavides in Dallas ($15,000), but I found some people on this site that used Dr. Lavin and he is $12,900. Oh well...I do digress...good luck on your journey. I think that I saw this Dr's name on one of the other Louisiana forums. Hope you have a great day!!!

I had my surgery done by George Merriman II M.D. in Shreveport and you can't ask for a better caring dr. I love all his office help and thecaring person he is. he doese believe in after care. We meet in his office once a month. Sharonn

My husband has friends who used Dr. Merriman and recommended him highly. Due to aftercare being more local we are using Dr. Cribbins in Dallas and all aftercare will be in Calhoun, which is a hop, skip and a jump from West Monroe.

I know I am pretty late. I was banded 2/27/08. I couldn't have asked for a better dr so far. He is such a funny, down to earth, talented man.

I just had my first fill. He was so professional and made it so comfortable for me.

I am scheduled for June with another doc in Shreveport. I have an appt with Dr. Merriman today actually to see if I would rather have him do it. I have heard great things about him and his clinic. I would love to know more from you, Tara.

Thanks, Karen R

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
