Dr. Norwood did my surgery on 08- 08. He is excellent. So far so good. His diet is stricter but I'm okay with it . I'm from Monroe.

I've had no problems. I have followed Dr Norwoods diet plan and it's working great for me . I started at 251 I was at 237 survey day and today I'm at 223.5 I'm so happy and feel ten years younger already.

That is great! Congratulations! I cannot wait -- I'm chomping at the bit. November can't come soon enough.

Hi!

My name is Jenny' date=' and I live in Denham Springs, La. My insurance (Humana) covered my sleeve at 100% so I was limited as to where I could go. In the Baton Rouge area I would find a Surgeon, but then the hospital they used was not "hospital of exellence". So I had to go to Layfayette which was a pain (the drive to and from), because it was a 8 month process. I used Dr.Chu, and she is great and REAL. I've only seen her twice. Once for a consult, and once the day after my surgery. Of course I saw her during my surgery but I wasn't awake for that. I'm a little disappointed that no one has called from their office to see how I am doing. I had my surgery on Thursday, June 28,2012. I think the real star of the show at that clinic is Kate Roundtree the Nutritionist!! I love her and she has helped me so much. I feel like I can ask her anything. Just yesterday I emailed her a creamy blackbean Soup recipe and she looked it over and oked it for me. Love her! Because I just recently went through this surgery I'll be happy to answer any questions. I had a wonderful experience, have experienced no pain and am so ready for some mushy foods!! I would love to have a close to me support group if anyone is interested.

Im from west Monroe and Dr Charles Bellows in new orleans did my surgery on 7/25/12. So far no complications and I feel great. 20 pounds lost so far after surgery. 112 lost before surgery.

Did dr. Bellows leave some stitches on your incisions? I go back the 18th so I guess he will remove them then but scared my incisions will be closed up. I am having to wait 3 weeks instead of two to see him because of the hurricane

I'm doing good, still have some sort of pain in my right side but will ask next week what it's from. Other than that I'm great. May I was 258 and today I'm 221. Good luck on your surgery.

      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?
