Hi 1st post after lurking for several weeks. Do you know the self pay amount with Dr. M? And where around NE LA will you get your aftercare/fills? Hope to go to the seminar for Dr. Sartor next week. I am still in the research phase. Oh, Monroe, LA here!

Our group is a certified Center of Excellence, if it is a Medicare issue for you. We are possibly a bit closer than New Orleans.

Dr. Hekier,

I am currently in West Monroe, LA and I am having my surgery with Dr. Cribbins in Dallas, TX who works in conjunction with Rita Zuber in Calhoun, LA for aftercare. Everything of mine is submitted to insurance and I am waiting on approval, so I really am not considering moving surgeons but I have gotten several people interested in considering lap band who ask for referals. Do you have an aftercare program in other areas?

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
