Congrats LMarie!

So glad to hear a positive story!

I am using Dr Hargroder in Baton Rouge. I think he is in with Dr Bellanger?

planning on having it done at Crystal pointe.

Did he have you do a pre-op? Are you nauseous? any anesthesia issues?

Thanks so much!

Hi Vicki! Yes I used dr bellanger at st Elizabeth's hospital and the staff was unbelievable. I just had to do 1 small Breakfast, and clear liquid the rest of the day for the day prior to surgery! I feel good now. Just trying to figure out how much to drink and when! Anesthesia gave me a very sore throat and I'm still drowsy but no nausea really. At the moment I can't tolerate anything cold or flavored so I'm only drinking room temp Water. I will try to work on Protein tomorrow.

I haven't had my surgery yet, but trying to be prepared. What does the listening strips do for you?

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
