Hey! I lived in prairieville up until 5/2011. I worked @ Digestive Health on Jefferson in the endoscopy department. I'm back up here in Monroe now and was sleeved @ P&S Surgical Hospital on Jan 2nd. I have to make a trip down to BR soon ; having said that, I'll be going to stock up @ Whole Foods and passing by the king cakes ...mercy! And I want a raspberry king cake from Matherne's sooo bad! Not just because of sleeve but because I'm way up here now! BTW I've lost 23 lbs so far...and I have a house for sale in Prairieville! LOL!

I had mine at Cypress Pointe with Dr. Bellanger on Dec. 13 and it was a breeze. Down 47 lbs. and feeling great. The first two weeks are a bit of a challenge, but each week after only gets better.

I swear we have a damn King Cake in the break room every day now! It's right outside my office and it's taunting me...

No kidding, if my wife brings home one more King Cake, I'm gonna lose it. To top it off, she brought home a gallon of Blue Bell King Cake ice cream today.

Cypress Pointe was great! You get a lot of individual attention. Don't freak out if the put you in ICU, it has nothing to do with your condition. They use this section of the hospital for Sleevers when the rest of the hospital is full. The rooms are nice and big and the ward is very quiet. The staff goes out of their way to accommodate you. My operation was a breeze, I hope you have the same experience. I don't know you, but I'm very happy for you. You are getting ready to experience one of the most liberating feelings you'll ever experience, enjoy!

Hi! Yes, I stayed one night in the hospital. My advice would be to make sure if you have questions ASK!! I kinda felt like I was rushed through everything. I had my surgery in December and they were really busy then. I waited for him for 3 hours for my pre op appt. then I never once saw him in the hospital. It kind of upset me. I actually went into the office today for my 2 month check up. He did an awesome job with my sleeve I haven't had any complications and my incisions were great! Only 3 lil cuts.

Be sure you take pictures of yourself before surgery and do your measurements. I didn't do either and regret it!

Let me know if you have any other questions!!

      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.
