Louisiana Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

I'm so glad you asked this! I'm up in Shreveport and scheduled to have surgery next Monday. I've almost been mourning not being able to eat crawfish again this season and now I see that I may get to eat them again this year after all!! I'll take only eating a few just as long as I get to eat them again :) Good luck in your recovery! I can't wait to be there with you!

Good luck to you too!! You know seafood is our heritage.

I am in Lafayette and hoping to get sleeved in mid April. My doctor is Carson Cunningham.

My insurance will not cover the surgery so I am private pay.

I am a little nervous about this new journey and would like advice from any of you.

I know where that is. I graduated from Harrisonburg and was a cheerleader. We used to play y'all in basketball.

I'm 23 days post op. I ate crab this past Friday night and crawfish Saturday and Salmon Sunday. I could eat about 6 crawfish at a time. Which is just insane to me.

Seafood seems to be easy to eat for me. Much easier than chicken salad. I haven't ventured into any other meats yet.

Have you ever heard of Fort Polk? I am about 15 minutes from Fort Polk, an hour from Alexandria and 2 hours from Shreveport!

Ah, North La! I've been to Alexandria about 4 times. I'm from the sticks! Deep down South Louisiana. I live, literally, on the Mississippi, lol. The only thing that separates us from the river is the levee.

Dr. Cunningham did my mom's gastric bypass. She likes him a lot and received great care from his staff and the hospital. Good luck to you.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery

My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
