lexi6510 56 Posted June 20, 2013 Well I just found mine will be July 22nd or 29th depends on when I get my sleep study done!!!! I'm so happy for you. How was your first week after surgery? First week went great. I slept the first three days and couldn't eat anything really. It got better by day 5. Second week if tough because I got hungry but by the third week I was fine. He doesn't make us do a pre op and he has one of the best plans after surgery. I've seen ppl on liquids for 5 weeks. We only have to do one week THANK GOD!!!

kkkraemer 9 Posted July 4, 2013 I am from Franklinton and had my surgery with Dr. Redmann in Covington on June 3rd 2013. I am down 20 pounds so far. I too had my surgery with Dr Redmann 5/23/13 he is just the sweetest thing. I had a conversion from lap band. He was wonderful and called to check on my quite a few times. 1 Corky6984 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bethylou 4 Posted November 6, 2013 Hi again' date=' Yes I have been sleeved already and it was worth every penny. I am 3 months out now and have lost over 50 pounds. The first few weeks are hard because of the liquid diet but easy at the same time because you are NOT hungry. I still don't get hungry. It's just hard trying to get as much Protein in as you can during those weeks and having to take small sips. I did try and eat whole food too early...got a phone call and forgot to chew thoroughly.. that was not a nice feeling. Take things slow.. the pain was not bad at all. And the results are fantastic!!! Are you on yahoo or MSN> we can chat and talk more about it and I can help answer any questions you have before and after. I got my surgery done in Baton Rouge with Dr. Hausmann because 2 of my coworkers got it done by him 3 years ago and they swore by him. He is a great doctor and the hospital was very caring and understanding and helpful too. Find me on yahoo - I work all night. NINfem1 on yahoo Rebecca[/quote'] Hey!! I was sleeved on 10/28 with Dr. Hausmann! 13.1 lbs down. :-). So glad to see you on here. Was getting lonely! Lol! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
