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 have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
