Hey ladies I'm from South LA had my sleeve done at Crescent City Surgical Dr Redmann on 5/23/13.

Dr. Redmann will be doing mine soon. How is your progress so far?

I'm down 32 lbs so far. The nurse practitioner told me yesterday that because I had a revision from a lap band my weight loss will be a little slower but 32 lbs sheesh I'm not complaining. I won't lie to you the first few weeks I felt like what the hell did I do to myself but it gets much better every day just stick to the guidelines they give you and you will be fine. Whatever you do don't cheat you will pay for it. Good luck and feel free to message me with questions. I will say this forum helped tremendously.

My surgery date is July 9th. I'm on my second week pre-op diet - down 6 lbs. so far. Dr. Wooldrige will perform my surgery at Ochsner on Jeff hwy.

Good Morning Ladies! I'm from Thibodaux and had my surgery with Dr. Kleinpeter at Our Lady of the Lake in Baton Rouge on 5/27/13. The first couple of weeks were rough, but I'm down 30 pounds and couldn't be happier. Best of luck with your upcoming surgeries!!

Good luck! I love Dr. Richardson!

Hey ladies, I live in New Orleans and Dr.Moore with Southern Surgical will be doing my surgery. I have an appt on the 11th and hopefully will get my surg date at that time. Trying to be done by the time kids return to school.

I had mine with Dr. Redmann in Slidell on 6/17. At my post op, which was 6/25, I was down 10lbs! Trying not to get too obsessed with weighing at home! Ha! Glad to see a lot worked out with Ochsner! I started with them and after I was done with my stuff, they never sent it off to insurance! Justine was my dietician and I really liked her as well! I ended up switching to Dr. Redmann after my gallbladder decided to act up, got stuff transferred and was ready to go! Good luck to everyone on your weight loss!
