Louisiana Sleevers?

I used Southern Specialist in Slidell. It's on the service road between the DMV and Fremeaux. IT WAS WONDERFUL. I loved loved loved my nurses. I wish I could've stayed longer! Lol. I was so comfortable and NEVER had a minute of pain.

Awesome to hear. I was going to go there originally but decided to check into Crescent City Surgical. Nothing bad about either. Just heard more about CSS. Thank you so much for the input. Hope I have the same great recovery you have had so far!

Hi everyone! I'm outside of Baton Rouge in Geismar. I will have my surgery at ochsner in New Orleans with Dr. Wooldrige. My insurance would only pay 100% if I went to a Center of Excellence. I had to choose between Lafayette or New Orleans. I just received my approval letter on Monday. Yeah!!! My husband finds it strange yet funny that I'm excited to have a surgery. He can loose weight at the drop of a dime and doesn't understand. I'm just trying to be patient and awaiting my date.

I also used Southern Surgical and Dr. Redmann was my surgeon and Southern Surgical was a very awesome place!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      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
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. 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?
      Thanks

      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! 😞
