I am feeling physically pretty well but just no energy....really getting tired of the liquid only diet...grateful to be over week 1 and taking it one day at a time

[LMarie 26]

I can only imagine how hard the liquid diet is.. But stay strong, it will be worth it! Keep us updated!

Hang in there you are in the home stretch now....

[tigerbelle 328]

thanks...feeling a little better today...only 3 more days on liquid diet...I didn't realize how hard it was going to be to get in the fluids and protein--even though it feels like I am always drinking something

[Aline728 301]

What are u using to drink out of, ive seen some use sippy cups is Why im asking...

[tigerbelle 328]

Aline, I just sip from the cup or Water bottle--no straws...and I know I wouldn't be comfortable using a sippy cup, even though my dietitian had suggested it

[Aline728 301]

I haven't even made an appointment anywhere yet! Lol

My original choice was Dr. Bisland in Thibodaux' date=' LA (that's my town). But after talking to a few ppl on here, he seemed too expensive. I've been getting as many opinions and stories as I can about surgeons in the BR/NOLA area. After reading posts on here I found out about Dr. Borland in New Iberia, La -- now I'm leaning more towards him bc the price seems awesome, and I've heard some really great things about him. He advertises a price of 9800 (I'll be a self pay).... I'm actually calling his office tomorrow! Eeeekk![/quote']

Dr Borland was great and definitely the cheapest around.

I had my surgery done at womans hospital in BR on May 15th.

My doctor was Jonathon Taylor and you cant get no better.

Staff at Womens was great

[tigerbelle 328]

I have heard that Dr. Taylor is a good surgeon...and I definitely think the best after-care is at Woman's Hospital

I know this is a pretty old thread but I wanted to see if anyone who had their surgery at Woman's and/or with Dr Bellanger could me update on how they're doing. I plan on having mines at Woman's with him, I'm waiting on insurance approval but once I get approved I'm looking at a date in April. So excited and nervous at the same time!
