Dr. Drake Bellanger in Gonzales, Louisiana ???

grumpys wife · May 20, 2011

I am looking for a doctor that carries the BLIS insurance in Louisiana. I am a self pay and would feel better having insurance in case of complications. I am in the Lake Charles area and don't know of any in town that offer the insurance. Has anyone used Dr. Bellanger?

thanks

I went to Dr. Bellenger on May 5th, 2011. I thought he was very professional & he claims to have a very low complication rate. They told me they have never had a leak. I hope thats true as I'm still worrying about it everyday but unfortunately that's my nature. My surgery went perfect. From the moment I awoke I never had any nausea or much pain. I took one dose of pain meds the first night before bed about 12 hours after surgery but only because the nurses couldn't believe I hadn't taken any yet. I also have had no problems with liquids at all. Drinking at least 60oz a day. I started mushies today at 15 days out & they have gone well so far. His Blis coverage is what attracted me. I am from Wisconsin so I went a long way because I was impressed with my research on him. They also told me that they have never made a claim on their Blis coverage ( I think about 3 years) so I took that as a good sign. Good luck and if you want more info you can PM me.
