I am wondering if there is anyone else from the central Louisiana area. I am from Alexandria. I am considering going to Mexico to have Lapband- my insurance won't cover any weight loss surgery- thank you state of Louisiana. I would love to hear from anyone around here!!!

Hi, thanks for adding me. You are looking great. Nice to meet you. I pass through the big town of Raceland every year on my way to Grande Isle.

Hi, I am Kerri, I live here in Alexandria also. I was recently banded and are looking for a fill doctor near here. Who does yours? I could get them done for free at my doctor in Mexico, but that is not an option due to cost. Thanks for any help.

I need help decideing between Dr. Huacuz, Dr. Guillermo Alvarez or the Doctors at Obesity Goodbye in Mexico. I have insurace here in the US but it doesn't cover weightloss sugery. I have been doing research since October of 09 and can't decide between the 3. I would love to know if you have used any of these doctors and the results. Or any suggestions you may have will be greatly appreciated. -

Yes it is defiantly the price. The cheepest I found in Louisiana is 13000. I would love to find a doctor within driveing distance that is reasonably priced. Dallas is about 6 hours from here. Give me more info, Please. -
Hi, I see that you are considering going to Mexico for surgery. I have been reserching this since October of last year. My insurace won't pay for it. Where are you from? I am from Louisiana. I found a surgin just over the Mexico border and he charges 6900. I hope to go in April. I would love to hear back from you.

Want to go to mexico w/me and have surgery
cajunmomma replied to Denourse's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Hi, I am from Louisiana. I am considering having Lapband in Mexico. My insurance won't cover it here. I will have to pay for it out of pocket. The lowest quote I got was 13,000. How much is it in Mexico? -
Thinking about having lap band....Help me please...
cajunmomma replied to brownskin82's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I am so glad that there are other people that are just as unsure as I am. I attended a seminar last week and would really like to have the procedure done. I will find out this week if insurace will cover it. The thing that worries me the most is the post op diet. I really love food and here in Louisiana- food is a huge part of our life. Will I still get to eat some of the foods that I love- like rice and bread?
