I'm from the Houma/Thibodaux area. Had surgery 12/28. I'm still adjusting to the sleeve vs Louisiana eating mindset. It's very difficult to focus on health when everyone around you constantly talks about the great fattening food they're eating. It's embedded in our society.

Yes I agree!! Before I knew my surgery date me and my aunt had decided this year for Christmas dinner we would have a Cajun Christmas... Well my surgery was 12/20 so I couldn't have anything! I just keep telling myself in the end it will be so worth it! But man all I can think about is a shrimp poboy lol

Not NOLA but Baton Rouge here' date=' too! Dr. Allain on 10/15.

It takes an especially strong person to make this change while being surrounded by THE BEST food anywhere.

I'm dying for a muffalotta from Central Grocery and some "thin" fish from Middendorf's![/quote']

Im debating between Dr. Treen and Dr. Lavin. Have seen great results from people that have been sleeved by Dr. Lavin. Who has used one of these Drs? What has your experience been?

Dr. Lavin did mine on Dec 20. I have only met him one time for about 5 mins after waiting almost 3 hours at his office to be seen. I never even saw him the day of surgery. I have had no complications at all and everyone that has gone to him says he is absolutely wonderful. I guess I just had mine done at a bad time of the year.

      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
