I am in Shreveport, and just learned about Dr. Borland....driving down to New Iberia on 5/28/13 to check it out...Skeptical but I did search him and have not found any negative reviews. Curious to know what you think of him?? Will let you know my opinion after I go there in a couple of weeks.

A few people on here used him. Haven't heard anything bad. I think he's so much cheaper because you recover in a local hotel and checks on you there

Dr. Treen at West Jefferson in Marrero did my husband in November. I think his cash price is about $14K. Insurance covered his surgery, but not mine, so I went to Mexico in May for $4650 plus airfare!!

Just to update this topic: I was sleeved on 6/11/13. I did choose Dr Borland, and I've been very happy with my care from him, his staff, and the staff at the surgical center. Thanks for everyone's help. I would've never heard of Dr Borland without VST.

The price was $ 9800 + $270 for preop tests (labs, X-ray, EKG).

If you are willing to come to Texas & don't want to do Mexico, there are a lot of doctors in the Dallas area doing cash packages for $11,000 & less.

      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!
