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.

Hi. I'm in BR. Is this group active?

This group isn't active, as far as I know. Are you a new wls patient?

I would be interested in joining a support group. I am awaiting approval.

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.
