Hi, I'm from below Houma. I'm seeing Dr. Richardson at Oschner. Have to get another test on my heart on Thursday because he found that my heart was enlarged. Waiting anxiously.

It's so good to have a support group like this one. I get so confused on whether this is the right thing to do. I hope that I can succeed losing weight and not be too miserable. Cooking and eating was really important to me. I don't hear anyone complaining about their life style after the BAND. And I'm sure that some of you out there are just like me and are losing weight. When I start reading all the successes I feel encouraged.

I think everyone on here enjoyed eating and cooking. I think it is a decision you will not regret. I am now enjoying life and feeling great!

Hi, I'm down the bayou from Houma. I'm having surgery on June 18 at Oschners. Wanted to have surgery in Houma with Dr. Rau but they didn't take Medicare, because they were not a Center of Excellence. Today is my 7 day of a 2 week liquid diet. Hard, but I'm taking it one day at a time. Will be going to the support group in Houma. Went to a few and really enjoyed them. Might have me you at one of them.

I believe there is a support meeting next Wednesday in Houma. I hope to go if I'm feeling okay. Hope to see you there.
