Information Seminar Tonight!



Recommended Posts

I had mine done at Southern Surgical Hospital with Dr. Moore. The staff was amazing. There are several doctors in the practice and they work out of three hospital locations. I believe they are Slidell (where my surgery was), Metairie, and I think Gretna. I have no complaints with the process and it all went smoothly on their part. I was self pay so I didn't have to go through all the tests needed for insurance. They also specialize in laparoscopic surgery and were very knowledgeable.

I'm probably going to do mine through Ochsner. They have 2 surgeons to choose from and I met a lot of the staff at the meeting on Thursday. They all seemed wonderful.

I am going through my ins. Which means 6 months of a nutritionist and many tests... I called my ins yesterday around 4:15 and they transferred me to a department that is supposed to close at 5... It was 4:30 by the time I got transferred and tat department was already closed... Now I have to wait til Monday. So that was a little frustrating...

I was so much calmer about the thought of surgery after my seminar. Any questions or fears you have' date=' write them down. I had questions and of course in the moment forgot what I wanted to ask.

Otherwise, take it all in and you can make your ultimate decision armed with as much info as possible.

Good luck!![/quote']

What doctor are you considering? Dr Noyan in nj did mine I highly recommend him

Ameejo the whole process can get frustrating. Hang in there it's worth it in the end.

I will NOT give up... This dream of being healthy and skinny and having children one day is worth so much more that the frustration this process many bring =]

      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? 🤷‍♀️
