ARE THERE ANY GASTRIC SLEEVE SURGERY CENTER'S IN LOUISIANA/TEXAS/MISSISSIPPI?



Recommended Posts

There is also Surgerical Specialist of Louisiana. Offices in Convington, Slidell, and Metairie. I am using Dr. James Redmann. Website is www.whyweight.com.

My mom used Surgical Specialists of Louisiana and Dr. Warden did her surgery. I had my sleeve done on 3/31/2015 with Dr. Lavin. A co-worker also used Dr. Lavin. I highly recommend Surgical Specialists of Louisiana. They have offices in Gulfport, MS, Slidell, LA, Covington, LA, New Orleans, LA, Lafayette, LA. Not sure if they have any additional offices.

@@cadegirl Dr. Lavin was awesome! I've had no complications or problems. My incisions are small and healing nicely. Everyone at Crescent City Surgical Center was very nice and attentive. My husband said Dr. Lavin was very friendly and answered any questions talking with him and my family after surgery while I was in recovery. I know it can be nerve wrecking but id recommend anyone to use Dr. Lavin. I know one other person who had him as a surgeon who is 8 months out and she is doing great. My mom had the surgery in Slidell with another member of his group and she is almost a year out and doing great! Overall I'm very happy with the whole practice. I'd say you are in good hands! Good luck and have fun loosing weight. It feels awesome!

      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.

      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!
