ARE THERE ANY GASTRIC SLEEVE SURGERY CENTER'S IN LOUISIANA/TEXAS/MISSISSIPPI?



Recommended Posts

If so what is their name and website so I could check them out. And what is the cost if you are paying through self pay? I have no insurance. Do they have payment plan's? Even in Texas and Mississippi

?

I can recommend Dr Borland in New Iberia. He does self pay patients. He only accepts low risk patients and does the surgery as out patient.

In Lafayette LA Lafayette General has a bariatric team. I'm going with Dr. Eschete. You go to a seminar they have twice a month and go from there. They have weekly support groups for pre and post op patients.

I am using Dr Scott Stowers at My Bariatric Solutions in Decatu Tx. They have a great website and they will do phone consults for out of town patients.

Dr Drake Bellinger is phenomenal. He is out of Baton Rouge he has done four of my family members as well as my surgery with no complications. He has surgery centers in Baton Rouge, Hammond and Gonzalez. I had my surgery at st. Elizabeth Hospital in Gonzales. I've never been treated so well in a hospital. I would highly recommend them and their staff as well as Dr Bellinger.

I highly recommend Dr. King in Oxford, MS (http://www.oxfordbariatric.com/). He does offer financing, although I do not know any details since I was covered under my insurance.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
