Louisiana sleevers?



Recommended Posts

I was supposed to have my sleeve done in October of last year but insurance hold UPS have made it to where I schedule my surgery tomorrow. I'm nervous and I start my liquid diet tomorrow. My question is, is that I am from Nebraska and moving to Lafayette, Louisiana on Feb 11. Where would a good follow up dr. be located at? This will b my first time in Louisiana. Any help is appreciated. :)

Dr Thomas Borland is awesome. He is just outside Lafayette in New Iberia. I just left his office today. First time in Louisiana? Boy are you in for culture shock. I grew up here and love it.

I will be sleeved on Jan 31st in Baton Rouge, La by Dr Andrew Hargroder. He came highly recommended. He did my relatives sleeve and she look great. So i will be traveling to Baton Rouge to get sleeved. (3 hour drive)

Thx. I was also gonna ask my surgeon here for a referral. I know im in for a culture shock. My fiance was here for college and hes warned me about it. The only thing im worried about is the humidity in the summer and the sun. I'm allergic to the sun (pmle) so it will be interesting to see how I adjust.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
