Looking For A Surgeon In Louisiana



Recommended Posts

I've recently moved to Louisiana. I was banded in Texas, and I'd like to get in to have my band checked out. I've contacted two surgeons here in Baton Rouge, only to be told that they won't see patients they didn't band, and the best I can hope for is a fill or unfill with the PA, no checking anything with a fluoroscope, just a straight fill or unfill. I don't want a fill or unfill, I want to know if there are any problems with my band that need to be corrected.

Does anyone have experience with a lapband surgeon in Louisiana who will 1) see patients banded by another surgeon, 2) evaluate the band under fluoroscopy, and 3) consider removal (as opposed to revision) if it's needed? Thanks for any information!

He's sweet. Dr. Bellanger

I called Dr. Bellanger's office and was informed that he doesn't see other surgeons' patients. Dr. Hargroder told me the same thing. I'm hoping they aren't the only two in town, to where the only way I can see one of them is if I go to the ER in excruciating pain and tell the ER I may need to see a bariatric surgeon, that it's possible any pain I'm having may be lap band-related.

don't know if you would want to come to Houma, but you can call Dr. Rau. or My Dr. in Thibodaux Dr. Perez. I know for a fact they see other dr. patients... and both are wonderful.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
