Surgeons in Lafayette, Louisiana Dr. Chu/Dr. Cunningham



Recommended Posts

My $200 consult was included in the $9800. He doesn't make you jump through hoops. Very nice man. I'm staying at the Ramada Inn, I talked them down to $60 per night. He comes to the hotels and checks on you each day. That is where the savings come in. No hospital stay. He sends you home with the leg pumps for circulation and you mail them back to him after 1 week.

I used Chu. I was self pay also. She's awesome. 11 months out, no complications, and very pleased. I highly recommend her.

I have my first appointment with Dr. Gachassin on Thursday (4/18) this week. How much time between your first appointment and your surgery? I'm about to start a new job and need to get this done soon. Look forward to talking with you more! Thanks

I'm in North Louisiana and my insurance would cover the surgery, so I went to Mexico. The BEST medical care I've ever received. I would do again in a heartbeat!!!

I'm considering Dr. Chu or Cunningham. If you don't mind me asking, how much were her fees for self pay?

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
