I would love to get together too but won't be able to join until after the first of the year. :( I am in south Texas for work until then. Sounds awesome though! Looks like a nice group may be able to get together!! :)

Baton Rouge here! I had VSG with Drake Bellanger at the new Woman's Hospital, and let me tell you, that place is SWANK! My husband kept taking pictures of the hospital room...

Dr. Bellanger is awesome, can't say enough about him and his whole staff, great people. I was out of pocket.

So far, so good - I agree with whomever saw Linda Braud the dietician, she is adorable and so helpful!

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.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
