I hadn't heard anything but I would like to workout. I was sleeved 10/6.

I'm doing bypass and haven't had surgery yet, but I am looking for an exercise partner.

I am Sherry, in New Orleans area. I had my surgery in 2013. So far I have lost 113 pounds and slowly still dropping. (too slowly in my opinion)

I am interested though for me, Baton Rouge is a bit far.

I am an Ochsner New Orleans surgery patient with Dr. Richardson.

It is very little about the surgery (for me) at this point, more about nutrition and exercise.

My life has totally changed for the positive since I did my sleeve and I wish I had done it years ago!

(the two weeks preop was the worst btw!)

We can make this chapter active!!

Is there an interest? We can always get together and go walk and maybe go to coffee afterwards and try to support each other.

I am up for it

Let me know!!

I'm in New Orleans and would be interested in meeting to walk/exercise. My sleeve was created by James Woolridge at Ochsner in 2012. Slow process but I believe I have perfected maintaining but need to get back on the loosing side of the sleeve.

Does anyone here live in North Louisiana? I'm in Ruston, and I think it would be the perfect halfway point for Shreveport and Monroe sleevers.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
