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 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! 😞
