[Saint_Sammie 21]

Thank you!!! Dr. Treen is awesome. I was very happy that I went with him for my surgery.

Welcome Sammie,

I am like you, had the easiest time , no issues whatsoever! Welcome to the forum, this is the best one I have found...so many nice people with great information that is so helpful.

Awesome! Sammie how long did you take off work because you job requires standing up most of the time.

Hello! My name is Samantha and I'm 23 years old. I'm currenlty living in New Orleans' date=' La and I'm a full time bar tender. I was sleeved just 8 short days ago. So far I'm feeling amazing.

I had my sleeve done by Dr. David Treen at West Jefferson Hospital in Marrero, La on Monday April 30th at 7:30 am. It was a pretty easy time for me all and all. He said the surgery went perfect and there was nothing to worry about. I went to my mothers house after a one night hospital stay. I took my last dose of pain medication on Tuesday May 1st at 8:30pm. So far I haven't had any real pain to speak of.

I guess that I'm posting this to inruduce myself. When I started my jounrey I joined another forum, that I love, but have found that there is not many sleevers on there. I came here in hopes to find some of the answers me and the other sleevers are looking for.

I hope to be a strong part of this forum and that I get to make lots of new friends a long the way.

I'm taking off 2 weeks. I'll be going back to work on monday. I don't really stand all that much, it's not that busy of a bar.

That's good! Wishing you the best in your continued recovery.

Hello to my fellow New Orleans sleevers, can I get a WHO DAT!!!!!!

My name is Courtney I live in Marrero and I am seeing Dr. Wooldridge at Ochsner, he is great. I will have my final appointment with the Nutritionist on June 1st and they will submit for approval from CIGNA that day and hopefully I will not have to wait to long for approval and I could possibly be sleeved the last week in June!!!!!

Wishing you all the best of luck and I think we should have a Southshore group!!!
