MK1986 78 Posted March 18, 2013 I'm so glad you asked this! I'm up in Shreveport and scheduled to have surgery next Monday. I've almost been mourning not being able to eat crawfish again this season and now I see that I may get to eat them again this year after all!! I'll take only eating a few just as long as I get to eat them again Good luck in your recovery! I can't wait to be there with you! Good luck to you too!! You know seafood is our heritage.

lory2922 21 Posted March 20, 2013 I am in Lafayette and hoping to get sleeved in mid April. My doctor is Carson Cunningham. My insurance will not cover the surgery so I am private pay. I am a little nervous about this new journey and would like advice from any of you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

woman in me 307 Posted March 20, 2013 I'm 23 days post op. I ate crab this past Friday night and crawfish Saturday and Salmon Sunday. I could eat about 6 crawfish at a time. Which is just insane to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

woman in me 307 Posted March 20, 2013 That is so exciting to me!!! I can't wait to be able to eat seafood again! Seafood seems to be easy to eat for me. Much easier than chicken salad. I haven't ventured into any other meats yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CherylA 9 Posted March 20, 2013 Where is that? Never heard of that city :-) Have you ever heard of Fort Polk? I am about 15 minutes from Fort Polk, an hour from Alexandria and 2 hours from Shreveport! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
prettynpink 110 Posted March 21, 2013 Ah, North La! I've been to Alexandria about 4 times. I'm from the sticks! Deep down South Louisiana. I live, literally, on the Mississippi, lol. The only thing that separates us from the river is the levee. 1 CherylA reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

UPRR Wifey 89 Posted March 22, 2013 Hey you guys, I'm from Alexandria, La I can't wait to pinch them crawfish tails. I'm craving all foods. Not having head hunger or anything like that. 1 Carol Watts reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am a little nervous about this new journey and would like advice from any of you. Dr. Cunningham did my mom's gastric bypass. She likes him a lot and received great care from his staff and the hospital. Good luck to you. 1 lory2922 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
