[color=rgb(51,51,51)][font='Open Sans'][background=rgb(249,249,249)]Just wanted to finally post my experience with Dr.[/background][/font][/color] Borland [color=rgb(51,51,51)][font='Open Sans'][background=rgb(249,249,249)]in Louisiana. I chose him because his self-pay price was only 9800 (my hubby wasn't comfortable with Mexico!) and he does the surgery outpatient (I had no desire to stay in the hospital) [/background][/font][/color]

[color=rgb(51,51,51)][font='Open Sans'][background=rgb(249,249,249)]His receptionist isn't the friendliest woman in the world, but she does answer all questions you have. You get your pre-op testing done at home with your own doc. From the time I inquired about surgery to the date of my surgery was less than 1 month.

[color=rgb(51,51,51)][font='Open Sans'][background=rgb(249,249,249)]You choose and pay for the hotel you stay at. I flew into New Orleans, and the drive to New Iberia was a few hours. You can also fly into Lafayette but its much more expensive. After surgery, Dr. [/background][/font][/color]Borland [color=rgb(51,51,51)][font='Open Sans'][background=rgb(249,249,249)]visits you at your hotel several times per day.[/background][/font][/color]

[color=rgb(51,51,51)][font='Open Sans'][background=rgb(249,249,249)]The surgery is done at the New Iberia Surgery Center. It's not super high-tech looking inside, but the nurse was very kind and competent and the whole surgery itself was a breeze. [/background][/font][/color]

[color=rgb(51,51,51)][font='Open Sans'][background=rgb(249,249,249)]Dr. [/background][/font][/color]Borland[color=rgb(51,51,51)][font='Open Sans'][background=rgb(249,249,249)] does not use a drain, and sent me back to my hotel with these inflatable stocking things to use to avoid blood clots. He prescribes liquid Vicodin for pain (I didn't use it--couldn't keep it down) and a suppository that helps with nausea and also puts you to sleep. My pain was very minimal; my biggest problem the first few days was vomiting up when I tried to drink. [/background][/font][/color]

[color=rgb(51,51,51)][font='Open Sans'][background=rgb(249,249,249)]I had surgery on Thursday and flew home to Wisconsin on Sunday with no trouble. Dr. [/background][/font][/color]Borland[color=rgb(51,51,51)][font='Open Sans'][background=rgb(249,249,249)] is available by cell whenever I need him, and always helps me out with questions. [/background][/font][/color]

[color=rgb(51,51,51)][font='Open Sans'][background=rgb(249,249,249)]If you're looking for an affordable surgeon in the US, I would definitely recommend Dr. [/background][/font][/color]Borland.[color=rgb(51,51,51)][font='Open Sans'][background=rgb(249,249,249)] He is top notch. He even gives you a flash drive with a video of your procedure, if you want to watch your sleeve be born [/background][/font][/color][color=rgb(51,51,51)][font='Open Sans'][background=rgb(249,249,249)] :)[/background][/font][/color][color=rgb(51,51,51)][font='Open Sans'][background=rgb(249,249,249)] [/background][/font][/color]

[color=rgb(51,51,51)][font='Open Sans'][background=rgb(249,249,249)]Feel free to PM me if you have any questions!! And no, I was not paid to write this review. Haha [/background][/font][/color]
