Hi Shane,

Would your cardio happen to be Dr. Lasala? I'm asking because he is the "huggy" type and I immediately thought of him.

Hi Dana,

My upper GI went well, but I do have a small hernia. I had my first visit on July 29 and go back for third visit next Thursday. Blue Cross does not require weight loss. I am having a hard time, I only lost a half pound in thirty days and still do not think I have lost. I live in Abita Springs. I would very much like to meet up with you. How about next week, any day but Thursday.

Attention all north shore sleevers,

I would like to start and support group that gets together and not only meets , but has some planned activities, who's interested ? Message me with your info or if your profile has email address just respond and I will send group email out, the support group I go to only meets once a month and of I'm working nights I miss it for that month. This forum has been great help for me and all you new and soon to be will really benefit from those that have walked in your shoes!

Hi guys! I live in Prairieville, LA and Dr Redmond, with Surgical Specialists, is doing my surgery Thursday at Crescent City Surgical Center in Metairie. It's close to my work in Norco. Good Luck!!

      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?

      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
