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.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
