Hey Y'all!

I thought I'd start a thread for the BR area. I know that NOLA has lots of active members, and I'm hoping BR dies, too.

I'm in Prairieville, 43yo, and had surgery with Brent Allain at OLOL hospital on October 15. I'm still finding it hard to believe that it's been almost 3 months since surgery.

I made it through the holidays okay, but I'm worried about being able to resist my beloved cream cheese King Cakes!!

NO Baton Rouge peeps?!

I'm having mine in Baton Rouge on January 21st. i go to woman's hospital today for my testing, ekg etc.

Hi, I am from Baton Rouge. I also had my surgery at OLOL, but with Karl Leblanc, I really like him. I had my surgery on 12/4/12. That's funny, because I passed King Cakes in the store recently and thought aww, no king cake for me this year.

Glad to hear from y'all!! I hear good things about Dr. Leblanc, too.

Skinny, who's your surgeon? Ate you getting nervous and excited?!

Here in Zachary. Sleeved by Dr Aceves in Mexicali. Aug 20th

I hope everyone is staying dry! Geez...

I live in Kentwood, about 45 mins from BR. I'm sch for Jan 24th at Cypress point in Robert,La. I'm so pumped I can't wait to get this done!!! I'm starting my liquid diet tomorrow. Pre-ops on the 16th. Is there anything you can think of that I may need to know about post-op stuff?

I have been looking for your thread!!

I'm Candice, I live in Central. I was sleeved on 12/20 by Dr. Lavin in Covington.

My people are in Alexandria, Bossier City, Monroe, Houma and Natchitoches. Don't think I know anybody in Baton Rouge though.

Hello all. I'm having my surgery Feb 5 at woman's hospital. Getting very close. I'm so excited but very nervous too.

I knew there was a reason I liked you!

I grew up in Shreveport, and I've lived in Monroe AND Alexandria!

I actually live in Prairieville now and love it.

Yeah, I missed the Christmas lights in Natchitoches the last 2 years...I normally get over there to see them and the fireworks. My uncle has a huge farm up around Winnsboro, if you know where that is. Right across the street from his house is Kix Brooks' house. It's beautiful there but a little too.....conservative.

The Baton Rouge and NOLA areas tend to be more diverse in their views. BR being somewhat of a college town and New Orleans being, well, New Orleans!!! North LA is definitely a different vibe. We do have a beautiful and I retesting state!!
