Congrats LMarie!

So glad to hear a positive story!

I am using Dr Hargroder in Baton Rouge. I think he is in with Dr Bellanger?

planning on having it done at Crystal pointe.

Did he have you do a pre-op? Are you nauseous? any anesthesia issues?

Thanks so much!

Hi Vicki! Yes I used dr bellanger at st Elizabeth's hospital and the staff was unbelievable. I just had to do 1 small breakfast, and clear liquid the rest of the day for the day prior to surgery! I feel good now. Just trying to figure out how much to drink and when! Anesthesia gave me a very sore throat and I'm still drowsy but no nausea really. At the moment I can't tolerate anything cold or flavored so I'm only drinking room temp water. I will try to work on protein tomorrow.

Thank you! I will be thinking of you! Listerine strips have been saving my life so far! Only advice I have as of now!

I haven't had my surgery yet, but trying to be prepared. What does the listening strips do for you?
