Anyone near South La? I'm having surgery June 28 at Ochsner Main on Jefferson Hwy.

anyone else in this area?

I live in Picayune, MS & had my sleeve done at Southern Surgical in Slidell, La on 6/6/13 with Dr. French. What a hottie! LOL. Haven't weighed since 6/17 but was down 17 lbs that day. I'm in an old pair of jeans I haven't worn in years today. The button's about to fly across the room but I'm in dem bishes!!! 5' 3.5" started 230 last weigh in 213.

Haha! Congrats!

Just received one call to verify my meds n go over everything. She said so far I'm the first one tomorrow, but not official until doc calls me. If it doesn't change I will need to report for 5am. I am so ready for this.

Congrats Shay.

Where are having your surgery? Who's your doctor?

Good luck, Shay!

I am from NOLA - had surgery February 28th, so I'm a little over four months out. I had surgery at Ochsner Main Campus & let me just reassure you that he is phenomenal!

If you have any questions, I'll be happy to try and answer them! Good luck ladies!

Dr. Wooldridge was my surgeon**

I'm having my surgery at Ochsner on Jeff Hwy also. My doctor is Dr. Wooldridge.

Was the approval process long? I'm seeing Dr Richardson and having all my test done this Friday. I'm anxious to have it done.

Thanks for this info. Everyone I know had Dr. Richardson. I just felt comfortable when I met Dr. Wooldridge and his staff.

Not at all for me. I completed all my testing and approved within a month.

It depends on your insurance. I had a required 6 months of NUT visits. From the time I was approved it was 2 days and I got a date. My date was 6 weeks from the day they called to tell me my date.

Dr. Richardson was my surgeon. If you new anything feel free to shoot me a private message... I don't always read through all the posts on the threads.

I only need one NUT visit. I already have sleep apnea (no more sleep studies), blood work (done), and Friday is X-ray, EKG, UGI X-ray, NUT, and psych eval; I ready for this life change. I'm 35 and would love to have a child before 40; and this surgery would help with all my health issues.

Good luck Shay I we be praying for u!!!
