Topic: grrrrr..... A tad bit upset
I got a call from Dr. Bellows nurse Friday, and she set my surgery date back from July 6 to July 13. I know it's only a week, but now that's an extra week of liquids too! I just had to rant for a minute, I am still very blessed to have this dream come true! Leigh

Okay, I will. I just had an appointment Thursday. 14 pounds since last visit. Also, we just had our first support group meeting on Thursday night. They will be every third Thursday of each month. June's will be at LC Athletic Club. Bring exercise bands if you have them. Vanessa will be going over some exercises with them.

No, I do not. But I'm sure they have a price policy that could give you.

Topic: RE: Surgery in Mexico?
To get a band, you need follow up and band adjustments. This is really not feasible if you have a band done in Mexico. Also what if you have complications. The aftercare after surgery is vital to success. The docs in Lafayette, Dr. Gachassin does sleeves for $11,500

Look at that. I work at the VA. We are neighbors in two ways, home and work.
Well I have an appointment with Dr. Bledsoe tomorrow. Pam was really nice and already penciled me in for surgery on July 12th, just in case I choose Dr. Bledsoe. I have a busy work and work-travel schedule for the next 6 weeks and I want the surgery completed in the summer so my children can help out around the house during my recovery time. My husband is working 12 hour shifts M-F, so he cannot be much help.
In addition to the other experiences I listed above, I've heard a lot of rumors about Dr. Parrish and Dr. Bledsoe about surgery problems. I could never confirm the rumors, so it was nice talking to someone that had dealt with him and had a good experience. Plus I would hate to know I had to travel all the way home after surgery from Baton Rouge or Shreveport, when I could travel less than 15 miles to my house from Cabrini.
I told Pam yesterday that you had referred me, but I did not know your real name. If you would, call Pam and let her know you referred me. I will let Pam know my screen name tomorrow.
Thanks again.

He does do the sleeve but I am not sure the cost. I had mine in New Orleans but a friend of mine had him for the sleeve two months ago. He has done awesome.
