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!

      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.
