marypenny 3 Posted October 14, 2011 Yes, I can really relate to the 'nervous & excited' feeling. I'm on the 19th, also. I've calmed down a lot since I spoke wih my surgeon but still..... This is a big step for moi and I'm scared but I'm determined. Hold fast! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soon2BMiniMommy 92 Posted October 14, 2011 Welcome, Pat! We're all with you....I'm envious of our October Sleevers who are done and on the other side...at least the nervousness and anxiety about the operation are gone! So glad you're here and I'll add you to our roster! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marypenny 3 Posted October 14, 2011 I raved about this website to the practice manager at Dr. Owen's office & she was so enthused when she went here & saw what you folks do. She's going to recommend this to their patients. I'm very grateful for the helpful hints about things to take to the hospital (I've made a list of stuff that multiple folks have said was beneficial). Down 12 lbs. so far on the Liquid Protein pre-op diet. Dr. Owens should be happy with that when he sees me on the table next Wed! Thanks for this site, it's been SO helpful for me.

MsDebi 6 Posted November 2, 2011 I was trolling thru your posts...was wondering...you are from Covington. Where did you have your surgery? I'm planning on having mine in Baton Rouge. Was hoping to find someone who is familiar with the area...my doc and such. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
patd1952 0 Posted November 2, 2011 Hi MsDebi, I had my surgery at Fairway Medical Center in Covington. It was done by Dr. Lavin of the Surgical Specialists of Louisiana. I think they have an office in Baton Rouge. I would strongly recommend him. If I can answer any questions for you let me know. Pat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
