Come on Louisiana! Lets get together and talk!

Can anyone recommend a Dr to get a psych eval done that does.t have a long waiting list or soprano booked a month out. This is now the longest process. Ugh. I'm just so anxious.

I went to the Metairie Support Group. Lots of nice people. Haven't been to the Slidell one, although I'm sure I will make that one too soon. I need all of the support I can get! Keep posting your progress, so we can see how you're doing. Good luck!

After my surgery maybe we can meet up and go together

F4M - just lemme know....maybe we can grab some coffee or something!

No real reason for me to go unless I'm having a problem, which I'm not. That's why I suggested that we meet for coffee or something. Unless you just want company. I go to Covington on Thursdays from 9-12am, I'm free after that.

Not that it needed to be said twice! Lol

I was sleeved on 1/24/12 by Dr.Lavin.

Starting weight 200

Returned home 1/25/12 - Weighed 204

2/15/12 - weight 182 !!

Never Hungry, No pain, can have 45 oz of liquid a day without any trouble. I do get full on anything I am allowed to eat (max 3 full bites)

Still cant have much other than yougart, cottage cheese, cheese, pudding & soup

As of now, really no complaints

Lovin' Lavin!!!!!

Kellsbells Sounds good to me. I don't work so usually im free. Monalisa glad your doing so well. Makes me feel better hearing positive Dr. Lavin stories. Maybe we can start our own "support group".

F4M - I don't work either, but I live in Carriere, MS.

I love the idea of our own little support group...

I don't work either! Retired from the Postal Service in May! So, I think our own little Northshore support group sounds like a great idea!

finaly4me - I would also be willing to ride together to go to a support group in either Metaire or Slidell after you have your surgery. I think it not only keeps you on track, but if you have had success and have some info to share, it helps the newbies.

I'm not hungry either, I get in about 70 grams Protein, 60 oz Fluid and average about 600 calories a day. It's tough getting in the protein and the fluids. I was never one to drink a lot of anything, so that has been a challenge. I'm drinking all day long!

F4M & LA girl, go to "tell your gastric sleeve story" & look under "Lovin' Lavin in Louisiana - patients of Dr. Tom Lavin, unite". Let's support each other & see how many of us are out there!!!
