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']

Where are you in Baton Rouge?? I'm in central!

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.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
