Hey everyone,

My name is Heather and I found this support group yesterday and joined. I have been in the process of getting the sleeve done for a few months now. My insurance will cover it completely other than a few small fees but I had to meet 3 requirements which I have. Now I am waiting on insurance to confirm I have met their requirements to schedule the surgery.

My first question, is there anyone from Louisiana who has experience with doctors in the Shreveport area? Also, who has had their sleeve recently (in all areas). I would love to hear how you are all feeling. And for every one else, Do's and dont's & or any advice you have for me. Success stories are so wonderful to hear but I also like to know about the trials.

Thanks

Welcome to the board! I haven't had surgery yet so I can't help you with some of your questions. I would recommend going into each of the main threads here (pre-op, post-op, diet and nutrition, etc.) and read through the pinned topics. They contains a huge amount of information for people just starting out. It covers everything, even sites to order Protein samples!

Good luck and keep us updated on your progress.
