_oliviawilson237 5 Posted November 7, 2013 I used Southern Specialist in Slidell. It's on the service road between the DMV and Fremeaux. IT WAS WONDERFUL. I loved loved loved my nurses. I wish I could've stayed longer! Lol. I was so comfortable and NEVER had a minute of pain. 1 sknyinside reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nothing bad about either. Just heard more about CSS. Thank you so much for the input. Hope I have the same great recovery you have had so far! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alysha23 31 Posted November 7, 2013 Hi everyone! I'm outside of Baton Rouge in Geismar. I will have my surgery at ochsner in New Orleans with Dr. Wooldrige. My insurance would only pay 100% if I went to a Center of Excellence. I had to choose between Lafayette or New Orleans. I just received my approval letter on Monday. Yeah!!! My husband finds it strange yet funny that I'm excited to have a surgery. He can loose weight at the drop of a dime and doesn't understand. I'm just trying to be patient and awaiting my date.

Thank you so much for the input. Hope I have the same great recovery you have had so far! I also used Southern Surgical and Dr. Redmann was my surgeon and Southern Surgical was a very awesome place!
