Dr. Uyen Chu

Has anyone ever had a revision done by doctor Uyen Chu and how are her surgical skills. Fred

Fred. are you talking about Dr. Chu in Lafayette? well if you are, i was told my the surgeon who did my surgery, that she is one of the best laproscopic surgeons in Louisiana. I had my surgery done in Opelousas in May. like i said, he told us she is one of the best. hope this little bit of info. is helpful Kateri

Thanks for the info, I don't think I would need to get a revision, but I have been hearing so many people talking about the success they have had with the DS instead of Rny. I will be meeting with my original doctor in September to discuss all options. Fred

Hi Fred, I also live in Baton Rouge and have an appointment to see Dr. Chu in Lafayette Sept. 14th. I have a bmi of 86 (yes, eighty-six) and am looking into having the DS done by Dr. Chu. I will tell you, after attending 3 seminars by other surgeons, I was VERY impressed with Dr. Chue and Dr. Steven's presentation. Their staff is very professional yet caring. I don't know the number of times I've called to talk with Bridgett, the nurse. Fabulous! I don't know about revisions, but I do know that she and Dr. Stevens recommend higher bmi's have the DS. I would love to know how things work out for you. Mary Olson Loser wanna be :0)

Hi Mary, We have a small group that meets once a month in Baton Rouge. Would love to meet ya sometimes. There's no fee and it's good to know other folks on this journey. We are from different doctors practices and here's our flyer for this week: http://members.cox.net/franspencer/ohla/ All my best! Frances

Hello Fran It has been along time. I lurk into the message boards from time to time and it is good to hear from you. Right now I'm in the process of starting a new job and soon as I get everything in order I will probably be making it to some of the events which you guys have planned. I really like the way you have organized the group in Baton Rouge. Onward. Fred

Hello Fran I'm glad to see you are on the bluff and I know that you are going well. What classes are you taking? Go fran go!!!

I've taught journalism/mass communications off and on for six years while working at The Advocate. Right now, I'm taking a "hard-knocks" lesson in what it's like to work there full time.
