Come on Louisiana! Lets get together and talk!

I am from Central Louisiana and I have just started the process of getting approved by my insurance. We are waiting to hear back from Aetna. I sure wish this would move a little faster. I will be going down to Lake Charles to use Dr Shimer as my surgeon.

I live in Morgan City & had my sleeve on April 18 with Dr Bisland in Thinodaux.

My husband is discouraging too. I will have mine in August. He won't come with me. He says it's not gonna work...and I'm gonna mess up my body and be in pain the rest of my life...but he refuses to educate himself. If anyone needs to not have complications' date=' it's me...cause I'm married to Debbie downer!![/quote']

I was sleeved on 3-19-12 my husband wasn't suportive either i was self-pay too tight wad a$$ too no longer my husband haha i lost a total of 33lbs well 43 with b4 surgery diet and after good luck to all my dr was chu from lafayette also i am from the area

Baton Rouge here, too! Just getting started with Aetna's hoop-jumping. I'm either using Brent Allain (my preference) or Jonathan Taylor (Aetna's preference). I have appointments with both in a couple of weeks.

I've got to be the world's most impatient person! All I can think of is this surgery and I'm ready to do it NOW.

And although my (naturally slim) husband is nervous about my having major surgery, he's very, very supportive. I see from some of your posts that your husbands aren't...that stinks and hopefully you'll find the support you need here.

Hi I'm being sleeved June 5th. I am getting a little scared, but I'm trying to remain positive. I enjoy reading all the post, they really do help.

Your doc is Merriman, so you're in Shreveport? That's where I'm from and most of my family is still there!

Yes that's correct! Did he do yours?

But I live on Texas 

Where?!? I'm actually from Waskom but I usually just say Shreveport since nobody knows about my tiny home town. LOL

I haven't had surgery yet, but I'll have it hear in Baton Rouge. I've heard good things about Merriman though.

I am from Hallsville and I know exactly where waskom is...

Have faith, beachlover, my stall hit me between weeks 2-3 as well. Just hang in there & continue to meet your Fluid, calorie, & Protein levels & the scale will start moving again soon. I tried to focus on the fact that I could feel the difference in my clothes & just in my general well-being so in spite of the scale's lack of cooperation, I KNEW something good was happening!!
