Louisiana Sleevers?

[Whitney1968 54]

I am in Slidell, La. I was sleeved originally on 8-19-15 and had to be resleeved on 8-24-15 due to complications. My doctor is Dr. Michael Thomas. Dr. Matthew French performed my 2nd surgery since Dr. Thomas was out of town.

I wish they would have an in person support group so we can meet, share experiences, recipes and CLOTHES (since we will not be in ant size for too long)!!!!

I'm glad I found this forum and hope to make some friends out of this since we all share something in common.

Hi I was also sleeved by Doctor Michael Thomas in October if last year. So far I haven't had any complications and I'm almost 100 pounds down. If you don't mind me asking what type if complications did you have that required you to be reserved?

I was in extreme pain since the surgery that I was hardly able to make it to my 1st follow up appt. I was so weak I thought I was gonna die. Thankfully, they force me to come in and I had a ride. I could not make it to the Covington office where I was supposed to go. I wouldn't have made the drive. Dr. French was there in the Slidell office, took one look at me and ordered a CATScan and admitted me for another surgery. I had something called 'locked bowels'. I read it only happens in 2%of patients. That was this past Monday. They reluctantly released me on Weds. I have staples in me now and will have them removed on Tuesday.

I am hungry and cannot wait to switch to more dense foods. However, I have just found the BEST Soups ever but am afraid he will tell me to stop eating them because of the spices.

Congrats on reaching your goal. I would love for you to be my mentor of support to get me through this. I am going through a depressing time right now that people warned me about but didn't think it would happen to me.

@@Whitney1968 I went through the same feeling. Depressed and wondering what did I do to myself! What I can tell you is that this feeling will pass. It's part of the process. I couldn't figure it out before because no one around me at the time had this surgery. Everything that was of comfort to me was no longer an option and I didn't cope well with that feeling. I look back now 10 months later and say wow!!! I'm so happy for this surgery!!

I am also in Slidell and had the sleeve on 4-1-15 by Dr Gridley at ochsner northshore. He and the dietician that works with him run a monthly support group. It's wonderful! I could find out if others who had surgery by different Drs can join in. Let me know!

I still love Dr. Moore from slidell she also works covington, an Metairie area

[Whitney1968 54]

I kinda of wish I went with Dr. Moore. I have always preferred women doctors. They seem more gentle. LOL
