Southern Surgical in Slidell was great! No complaints. Ask for the strawberry sorbet after surgery. It was great too! I stayed overnight and left about 10am the next day.

He will most definitely keep you over night. I was a little annoyed that my surgery wasn't scheduled until 1:00 with them knowing I was on a clear liquid diet the whole day prior but regardless of the fact that i was STARVING when i got there & a bit cranky the surgery, stay & staff were super wonderful. They were quick to bring pain meds every time I requested them. Unfortunately they will inject you with blood thinners throughout your stay & they sting but that's the only bad thing I could think of. You'll do great!

No, just clear liquid diet 24 hours prior to the surgery.

I was sleeved on July 23, 2013 by Dr. Avara in Ocean Springs, MS. The surgery went great with no complications. I was 309.5 the day of surgery and I am 278 today. I work out 6 days a week and I have been following the diet almost to a tee. I went through about 3 or 4 weeks of a stall but started loosing weight again. My journey has slow but I am ok with that! Hello and best wishes to my fellow Mississippi sleevers!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
