Glad I found this topic...I've exchanged posts with a few of you already...I am in Baton Rouge and have a consult scheduled with Dr. Bellanger on March 8th...I will have my surgery at Woman's Hospital regardless of who ends up being my surgeon...I am self-pay so no insurance paperwork or red tape at least...I know I will find this out at my March appointment, but I am curious as to how soon after my consult could my surgery possibly be scheduled...2 weeks? a month? also, do any of you recall what kind of pre-surgery diet was required by Dr. Bellanger? Any and all feedback is appreciated

I'm also in Prairiville. My surgery was with Dr. Bellanger at Woman's two days ago. I have already dropped five pounds and feel really good! A little nausea and very minimal soreness (the iv spot hurts more than my tummy!) and just trying to get in my Water.

I really look forward to getting to know y'all!

I love Linda and Katherine! They made this proces so much easier.

Dr. Bellanger actually came in on his off day to do my surgery since I am a teacher and hate to miss school. I get to recuperate during Spring Break!

glad all went well...Dr. Bellanger ordered a CT scan for me, and I am still waiting to hear back from him (or Tracy) on the results...the scan results will determine whether he can do my surgery laparscopically or not :unsure: I prefer to do my surgery at Woman's but for some reason he wants to do my surgery at St. Elizabeth's in Gonzales where he says he has more resources and specialists available ::sigh::

please keep us updated on your progress...even though I am not even scheduled yet, I still like the idea of having someone to post with on the boards who has the same surgeon

Q

He only required a one-day clear liquid diet. I was also self-pay at Woman's and had a generally good experience. One nurse acted like I was an inconvenience, and I reported that to the bariatric coordinator. Mine was scheduled within a month of the original seminar! I have lost almost 12 pounds since Monday and feel amazing, just a bit tired.

Today is the first day I've met both Protein and Fluid requirements. I'm only day 4, and already 13 pounds down, so I finally feel like this won't be just another diet at which I will fail. I hope you all are well and continuing your success.

TigerBelle and others who aren't sleeved yet, it really does get better each day. :)

      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.
