Come on Louisiana! Lets get together and talk!

Well I just found mine will be July 22nd or 29th depends on when I get my sleep study done!!!! I'm so happy for you. How was your first week after surgery?

First week went great. I slept the first three days and couldn't eat anything really. It got better by day 5. Second week if tough because I got hungry but by the third week I was fine. He doesn't make us do a pre op and he has one of the best plans after surgery. I've seen ppl on liquids for 5 weeks. We only have to do one week THANK GOD!!!

I am from Franklinton and had my surgery with Dr. Redmann in Covington on June 3rd 2013. I am down 20 pounds so far.

I too had my surgery with Dr Redmann 5/23/13 he is just the sweetest thing. I had a conversion from lap band. He was wonderful and called to check on my quite a few times.

Dr. Redmann did mine as well. Awesome surgeon and very sweet!

I'm from Louisiana! My surgery is scheduled for may 31. I'm going to cypress Pointe surgery center in Hammond!

I am having mine done at Cypress pointe by Dr hargroder. Please share any experience you may have?

Thanks so much!!!!!

I'm in central la. I was sleeved 11/9/10 by Dr Eschete in Lafayette.. I just crossed over to wonderland exactly 7 weeks out. I'm excited..

Hi there I'm Lillian from New Iberia La. Dr. Eschete will do my sleeve on Oct 8. How's was your sleeve?

Hi again' date=' Yes I have been sleeved already and it was worth every penny. I am 3 months out now and have lost over 50 pounds. The first few weeks are hard because of the liquid diet but easy at the same time because you are NOT hungry. I still don't get hungry. It's just hard trying to get as much Protein in as you can during those weeks and having to take small sips. I did try and eat whole food too early...got a phone call and forgot to chew thoroughly.. that was not a nice feeling. Take things slow.. the pain was not bad at all. And the results are fantastic!!! Are you on yahoo or MSN> we can chat and talk more about it and I can help answer any questions you have before and after. I got my surgery done in Baton Rouge with Dr. Hausmann because 2 of my coworkers got it done by him 3 years ago and they swore by him. He is a great doctor and the hospital was very caring and understanding and helpful too. Find me on yahoo - I work all night. NINfem1 on yahoo Rebecca[/quote']

Hey!! I was sleeved on 10/28 with Dr. Hausmann! 13.1 lbs down. :-). So glad to see you on here. Was getting lonely! Lol!

In Louisiana here... Had sleeve done in Baton Rouge by Dr Hardgroder on Dec 17, 2013. Doing pretty good. A little jittery in the mornings but doing great so far with the liquids!

Hi All- I'm from NOLA and am in process of getting tests and evaluations for Sleeve. I have chosen Dr. Lavin but have not yet met with him. Still mentally preparing myself for the mental and physical changes and making sure I'm ready. How did you know it was the right decision.? Any info. About my doctor and your experiences would be welcome.

I'm from Louisiana, had a lot of weakness first 2 weeks... Think I was kinda dehydrated:-( felt like Christmas was a big blur and New Years for the most part. Go back to work tomorrow and not looking forward to trying to eat around others ... Or eat several times small meals??? Oh well we shall see how it goes! 19 lbs down and looking forward to getting me back:-)
