Dr. Gachassin or Dr. Eschete

phished10 · April 26, 2011

Hi, I'm new to this forum and I look forward to getting to know everyone, the support here is amazing I have a few questions about the surgeons at Acadiana Weightloss Surgery. Has anyone here been sleeved by either of the two? I am finding more reviews on Dr.Gachassin rather than Dr. Eschete. But not all of them are great. Some say his bedside manners are horrible! I can only find 1 review on Dr. Eschete and it's great, but I wish I had more to go off of, one review isn't much. I'm just wanting some feedback on their quality of care and your experience with these doctors.

Also, I am cash pay, how long did it take you to get a consultation and into surgery? I called the office and asked the staff this questin and didn't really get an answer. I have the cash and I am 100% sure I want the sleeve. I would like to have the surgery next month, if not I will have to wait until the end of August.

Thank you so much!

Dr. Gachassin sleeved me, and Dr. Eschete sleeved my cousin.

They were both great. EXCELLENT bed side manner.

They have the BEST program in LA, and the BEST price.

The total cost was 11,500.00. This included the pre op consult, and one year of follow up.

I was seen and had surgery within 5 weeks!!!

Good Luck
