No we live in New Roads about 1hour away near baton rouge. I wanted to use Dr. Cunningham but my insurance only paid for one in New Orleans. My mom received much better care than I did.

Hey I'm from Colfax (30 mins north of Alexandria) and I just joined this website tonite. I'm scheduled to have my sleeve done on April 30, 2013. Dr. Bledsoe is my surgeon!. Had my psych eval today and passed. Looks like this will be a great support group! :)

No, I was supposed to but couldn't go that day. Hopefully going to the one he's giving April 13th. I always have people tell me I look familiar to them, lol. I had a dr. visit with him on March 18th?

Hi everyone. First time here. I am looking for a surgeon on the Northshore area. Covington, Mandeville or Slidell. Will go to New Orleans or Baton Rouge if I need to, but would prefer not to go that far. Any and all input appreciated. The surgeon I wanted to use is leaving his practice. Such a waste of talent. He's an awesome surgeon. Sooooo, that leaves me looking for a replacement. Would prefer someone with privileges at St. Tammany Parish Hospital. I'm so needing to do this for my health. This is a wonderful site!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
