Louisiana Sleevers??!

Also it is a 4 hour minimal recovery time at the surgery center. They only send you home when you are perfectly ready.

That would concern me a bit. I had complications. I had internal v

Bleeding that was caught from bld work. I was in hhospital for 4 days. Don't want to scare u but id went undiagnosed it could have been bad. Just check for how he follows up. Bld work. Test etc. Do you have the drugs u need. How farfrom the hospital invade of emery. Just a few questions to think about and ask. Good luck.

I am from Central Louisiana and I have just started the process of getting approved by my insurance. We are waiting to hear back from Aetna. I sure wish this would move a little faster. I will be going down to Lake Charles to use Dr Shimer as my surgeon.

My husband is discouraging too. I will have mine in August. He won't come with me. He says it's not gonna work...and I'm gonna mess up my body and be in pain the rest of my life...but he refuses to educate himself. If anyone needs to not have complications' date=' it's me...cause I'm married to Debbie downer!![/quote']

Baton Rouge here, too! Just getting started with Aetna's hoop-jumping. I'm either using Brent Allain (my preference) or Jonathan Taylor (Aetna's preference). I have appointments with both in a couple of weeks.

I've got to be the world's most impatient person! All I can think of is this surgery and I'm ready to do it NOW.

And although my (naturally slim) husband is nervous about my having major surgery, he's very, very supportive. I see from some of your posts that your husbands aren't...that stinks and hopefully you'll find the support you need here.

Hi I'm being sleeved June 5th. I am getting a little scared, but I'm trying to remain positive. I enjoy reading all the post, they really do help.

Your doc is Merriman, so you're in Shreveport? That's where I'm from and most of my family is still there!

[AnewME! 8]

Yes that's correct! Did he do yours?

Where?!? I'm actually from Waskom but I usually just say Shreveport since nobody knows about my tiny home town. LOL

I haven't had surgery yet, but I'll have it hear in Baton Rouge. I've heard good things about Merriman though.
