Hi!



Recommended Posts

Hey I'm Jennifer. I'm a 30 year old that is getting sleeved next week. I live just outside of Baton Rouge. I actually went through the process to get RNY done 8 years ago and before I could have it done my insurance changed and really messed me up. I just gave up the idea of surgery completely. 8 years and 2 more kids later my grandmother offered to pay for me to have weight loss surgery. This was last month. We went to a consultation with Dr Bellanger in Baton Rouge last week. I will be sleeve April 19th. I'm scared to death but I am assuming that is normal.

So that is my story and hopefully I can get to know a few of you because I don't have a big support system of people going through what I am. My fiancee is extremely supportive but I know he just won't understand some things.

Hey Jennifer,

I live in Baton Rouge myself. I got sleeved at OLOL on March 12th. It is a scary process but it is all worth it. My surgeons were great and I have nothing but an awesome recovery. Since my initial consultation in December, I have lost 100 lbs and feel great. Keep going and just remember, through all the pain and everything....we are getting healthy for our kids.

Good Luck!

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

      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! 😞
