Recommended Posts

Hi! I am new to this journey and I will be self pay. Has anyone used these doctors in Lafayette, Louisiana? I live in Denham Springs, Louisiana. I would love to connect with more people from this area also! My current weight is 245, and I would love to get down to 175. Anything extra would be a blessing!

Hi! I don't know about the doctors in Lafayette, my surgeon was in Lake Charles, and I love him. Thought I'd say hi though.

I am from Louisiana. I saw Dr. Chu in Lafayette last year but decided not to use her at that time because my insurance didn't cover the sleeve. However this year they do. I am in Alexandria and I am seeing Dr. Parrish. I have heard good things about their office and I have a cousin that will be getting sleeved there soon.

Yes, I did like her. I felt comfortable in the facility and liked the staff. They are very organized there and provide you with all the information you need. I think you would like it! Good luck!

Hi I'm scheduled 2/25 with Dr Thomas Borland in New Iberia. About 20 minutes outside Lafayette. If you are self pay it's $9800. I know about 15 friends that have went to him. All sing his praises. He's real nice.

Wow! Are you serious? How long does he keep you? The office in Lafayette charges 13,600. Does Dr. Borland makes you do all the testing? S far from what I am hearing I will only have to do bloodwork.

Dr. Bordland is 9800. Cash then you pay for your own blood work which is blood test and EKG . All my tests was 250. Then your consultation was 200. . The only thing you pay besides that is 2 nights at a hotel which I had a suit was 83.00 night . I schedule my consultation and in two weeks had my surgery .

Women and Children's Hospital in Lake Charles is a Bariatric Center of Excellence. Dr. Keith Chung is excellent. Google him and check out his credentials. Good luck!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
