Topic: RE: ISO psy eval in louisiana area,medicaid or low cost
I only to had to have one visit with Nut. She gave me all the information i needed for my diet after surgery. It gives a list of all the food i can have on full liquids, all the food for mushies, and then all the food we can try one by one in the end. Just make sure they give you the diets in that first visit. Good luck girl. I will not be long before you will have your durgery.

Topic: RE: Support group meeting
Hey Gwen I am so going and deff. want to meet up with you before hand. That will help calm my nerves before walking into a room full of people I have never talked to before. :)
Topic: Support group meeting
The support group meeting in Lake Charles is Tues Jan. 18th at 6pm. It is at Women and Childrens hospital. When you walk into the main front entrance, it is in the 1st door to the right. (I think it is the 1st door, could be the 2nd door). Either door will be the same room, one is locked though.
Anybody can go, it is not only for those that had surgery there. It is also open to pre ops. Hope to see you there!!
If anyone wants to go and would like someone to walk in with them, let me know and I will wait for you in the parking lot. PM me and I will give you my cell#.

Hey Ella. I am sorry you had such a rough time with Journey. It took me over a month to get an appointment with Journey also. I hope that the one you found works out and soon you will be on the losers bench too. the psyc eval took me the lngest to obtain too. I went to the cardiologist righrt there close to Journey to get my cardiologist letter. They were awesome there and they have an office in Lake Charles. If you need the number let me know. Good luck girl. Are you going to the supoport group in Lake Charles Tuesday at Womens and hildrens hospial. I am planning on going. Talk soon...Sherri

Topic: RE: Dr. Wooldridge @ Ochsner
I had surgery several months ago with Dr. Wooldridge and I agree with you 100%. He is awesome but the overnight stay was horrible. His clinic staff can be very insensitive too but my personal experience with him has been exceptional. I guess Ochsner got tired of my complaints because they quit sending me their famous evaluation forms and the staff in patient services quit returning my calls after I complained as well.
