Anyone use Dr. Lavin in South Louisiana?



Recommended Posts

He did my POSE and I'm converting either the 1st or 8th to sleeve with him. Just looking for those who have had their sleeve with him and did you have any complications? TIA!

There is someone on this site who did, I can't remember her name but I think she was happy with him. I had Dr. Dominguez in Covington, no complications at all but I didn't care for him really.

I was originally scheduled to see this doctor but Covington was so far away so I'm using Dr Bledsoe in Alexandria. He's great and he prays with you.

I have not used Dr. Lavin, but did consult with a number of his patients. From the information I have gathered he is great. I am using Dr. Treen from West Jeff.

Dr Lavin did the sleeve on a co-worker of mine. He speaks great things about him. I was referred to Dr Redmann who I've heard is really great and personable. I'll be meeting him Sept 18th!

for those who used dr lavin - were you required to do an EKG? at my first appointment they were a little light on that kind of information. i saw another dr in jackson, ms who gave more details on what was expected before surgery. thanks so much!

      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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
