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!

Yes, stay at Southern Surgical is AWESOME!!!

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 am here in Biloxi! I was sleeved at Garden Park in Gulfport by Dr. Balder on 9/26/13 and they were amazing!!! I am down 41 pounds! I love seeing so many locals!
