There is an AMAZING group of Bariatric Surgical Specialist in Louisiana & Mississippi. They are SURGICAL SPECIALIST OF LOUISIANA & MISSISSIPPI, & their # (985)234-3000 for the office I use, & they can direct you to your closest location. They have a very informational website, www.whyweight.com. The dr I use is Dr. Rachel Moore & she is top-notch! After 19 years in Medical Field, I've experienced, seen & witnessed it all. I floated from ER, all ICU Units, OR & Trauma, & I know all about physician credentials, what flags to look for, etc. so, in short, THIS GROUP IS IN A CLASS OF THEIR OWN! Take a few minutes & go check out their website I listed. BEST OF LUCK & GOD's SPEED

I am from Forest, Ms. My husband and I are scheduled for surgery 6/16/2104. I can hardly wait. I know that it will be a challenge for a while but I believe I am ready for it. Our surgery is scheduled with Dr. Vick at University Medical Center in Jackson.

Hi Beth, It's great to have you on the Mississippi forum and so happy that you and your hubby are doing this together. Great support and understanding all built in. You'll be able to get fit and healthy together. I had thought about using University but they were kind of slow getting their program up and running so I went with Central Surgical Associates so I could get the process moving more quickly. I hope you do well and you both have a quick and easy recovery. I'm 3 months out and I feel great. Best decision I ever made.

I am averaging 2lbs a week so far, had 3 stalls but I'm keeping on program. Walking & swimming laps now that the pool is warming up. I am low BMI so I was expecting slow losses. I need to find time for strength training to help my BAT wings though ;-)

I live in Rienzi Mississippi, originally from UPSTATE New York. I was sleeved on May 5. 2014 by Dr. Karon Bath at the Baptist Memorial Hospital in Oxford MS. I have got 2 more weeks to go on this full liquid diet and I am looking forward to chewing something. :-) I am stuck right now at -27 lbs and have been for over a week. Yesterday, had family over for holiday eating and I did not so much as lick a spoon....HOWEVER....just looking at the food, I GAINED 1/2 lb!!!!!!!

Hi Polly. You are a long way from New York. What's a nice lady like you doing in a place like this? LOL Congratulations on your surgery and your will power over the holiday. Once you are able to eat solids, take it easy...don't rush into it. Your weight loss so far is wonderful and am happy to see more Mississippi folks posting. Don't be a stranger, post often.

Hi Mike. I live in Jackson now but I used to live in Connecticut. LOL Funny how that works. You are a long way from home and you are doing a phenomenal job on this diet. 95 lbs since Feb 3rd is unbelievable. Bet you are feeling a hundred times better. We look forward to hearing more from you. Send pics.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
