I had mine done at Southern Surgical in Slidell on July 11. I had the same experience with them as you.....fantastic!!!! Only really had about 75-80 lbs to lose.......lost 50 in 2 1/2 months. Hadn't lost any more YET. Would do it again all over again.

I can't believe you went back so early! I couldn't imagine going back at 2 weeks much less 5 days! I work mainly outside and my job is way too physical. My tools weigh more than me and I have to ride a bicycle so my stomach being crushed with every stride was not attractive. Kudos to you!

Oh, no...Angel... I work at a plant, but in an office. I would never had been able to go back do soon if I worked in the field! You will need a few weeks off! Even sitting behind my desk has not been the easiest this week. Thank goodness tomorrow is Friday!!

Watch out for the CO2 pain. Mine was almost unbearable. Just walk as much as you canif you get that pain. You are making a great choice! I wish you all the best!!!!

I live in Slidell and had mine done by Dr. Rachel Moore at Surgical Specialists of Louisiana. I can't believe no one else has used them! I couldn't have asked for a better experience. She even signed for me to be off of work for 4 weeks because I work in a plant and was worried about not being able to get enough fluids in. Southern Surgical Hospital in Slidell was so nice and the staff were extremely friendly. My mother lives in Houston and is going to have it done here. My family was amazed at how wonderful evening was.

I had my Sleeve on September 17th and I am 25 lbs down <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

I'm in Slidell too!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
