Hi! Just the beginning...

Hi-

I am new to the site. I have been on a different site but was glad to find a group in Louisiana. I am in New Orleans. I am still in the pre-op stages. In fact, I have my EKG's, etc day after tomorrow. I am working with Dr Richardson and the team at Ochsner and will be getting the Realize band. Let's see... I am 28 and will be getting married in April. I hope that if all runs smoothly, I will be having surgery in early march. I just wanted to say hello... hope everyone is doing well! TTYS!

hi, welcome to the site; u r working with a wonderful surgeon and his team; i met him personally in new orleans in june and really wanted him to do my surgery; but NO is just too far for me to go for all appointments; i live in ferriday and NO is a 3 1/2 hr drive; i am still preop and ur welcome to go to my profile and see my story; hoping for rny on 12/14 with dr sartor in monroe, La but things have not been going good for me physically and mentally;  good luck on your tests coming up and hope to see u on this site more
