There are 6 different surgeons at Southern Surgical' date=' so if you don't get along with one, try another. And they seem to each have priveliges at different hospitals, or you can go to their hospital in Slidell. Since it's a specialty hospital it wouldn't be a direct competitor of STPH like Lakeview is.

I saw Dr. Moore 7 years ago when I chickened out of the lap band, and see Dr. Redmann now because he's on my new insurance and Dr. Moore isn't.[/quote']

Dr Redmann did my lap band a few years ago and he just did my sleeve 5 weeks ago I love him he is soo sweet and has a great bedside manner dr French assisted and he was great at well. Their entire staff is wonderful.

Dr. Redmann sleeved me 2 weeks ago tomorrow. I was SO glad when I had my gallbladder issue, which lead me to him and glad I switched to him to do my WLS! Started out with Ochsner, wouldn't recommend them! He does have awesome bedside manner and is very sweet! They do have an awesome staff!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
