Hi, I'm from below Houma. I'm seeing Dr. Richardson at Oschner. Have to get another test on my heart on Thursday because he found that my heart was enlarged. Waiting anxiously.

It's so good to have a support group like this one. I get so confused on whether this is the right thing to do. I hope that I can succeed losing weight and not be too miserable. Cooking and eating was really important to me. I don't hear anyone complaining about their life style after the BAND. And I'm sure that some of you out there are just like me and are losing weight. When I start reading all the successes I feel encouraged.

I think everyone on here enjoyed eating and cooking. I think it is a decision you will not regret. I am now enjoying life and feeling great!

Hi I'm in houma. Had mine at the surgery center with David Rau

Hi, I'm down the bayou from Houma. I'm having surgery on June 18 at Oschners. Wanted to have surgery in Houma with Dr. Rau but they didn't take Medicare, because they were not a Center of Excellence. Today is my 7 day of a 2 week liquid diet. Hard, but I'm taking it one day at a time. Will be going to the support group in Houma. Went to a few and really enjoyed them. Might have me you at one of them.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
