hi, looking for fellow sleeve buddies....my surgery was nov 26th......anybody around me/my time frame for surgery?

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!

Yes we should!!

I started a BR area thread so we don't hog the NOLA thread! lol

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.
