I saw Vanessa april 12 going back down july 21st for my cardo and  i have a surgery date for 9=29 only cause i have a cruise on 9-16 and they wont let me have it and go out of the country but all is great i am so excited!!! i am four hours out in Rayville La 

Angel thank you so much for responding. I am soooo glad you have done so well with Dr Bellows. I am extremely excited to be on my way to the losers bench and cant wait. I should have all my testing done by Aug 11th.  How was the hospital itself when you had your surgery. Did you have to share a room with other bariatric patients? I know Dr. Bellows staff is wonderful. I was just wondering about how the hospital stay was. Has your pain gone? How much are you able to eat now? Sorry so many questions. I hope there's room for me on that losers bench. I am on my way lol....Sherri

Thanks soo much Paula and Sherri, for the information....a nurse from the office called me yesterday and they moved my visit date up to July 28th so i will try and get the sleep study done before that hopefully they will accept it....i will be praying hard for myself and for you guys...thanks for the support....

Jaylyn I was able to make all of my appointments on Aug 11th in New Orleans. They want us to use their drs there because those dr already know what dr bellows is looking for. When I called and scheduled my appointmnets I asked if I could get them on the same day because I have to drive 4 hours to get to NO. They were able to work with me and get it done. Then after those appointments I have to schedule a follow up appointment to see dr bellows and set a surgery date. I also have to see a cardio but not sure if its there or my own they gave my PCP an order for cardio so not sure but cant get that until I have surgery date because a release from cardio is only good for 30 days.  If you have any more questions just ask there are several who have already had the surgery with dr bellows and several of us that are waiting. We are one big family lol...Sherri.
