Yesterday is history.

Tomorrow is a mystery.

Today is God's gift, that’s why we call it the present.

  

I tried to use Dr. Hargroder for my surgery but his reason for not doing my surgery was absurd.  I went to a doctor in Texas who did the surgery, no complications, no issues at all.  I am actually greatful that he wouldn't do my surgery for me.   I am totally satisfied with the doctor who took on a challenge that Dr. Hargroder wouldn't even consider.  Actually there was no real issue except my age.  Regina

Hi Patricia . . I've been thinking of you and I know that you were going through your tests again and hoping to have a date set soon . . any luck with that?  I know it must be frustrating, but now that you've made a great decision and will be movin' on and movin' forward, I know you must feel a great relief --- keep in touch --- FAYE is with you all the WAY!

  Dr. Le Blanc should be very good... his brother used to be our PCP in the Breaux Bridge area and I've heard lots of good things about his bariatric practice in Baton Rouge... good luck!!

HArgroder did mine 3/17/06 and Im down 225 BUT, I had a bad experience in the recovery room there at Vista, I am not over it emotionally.  I am however happy withthe results.  Didn't knwo they moved?  They seemed "disorganized " in the initial process nad was less than informative about what to expect in hindsight.  There, now that's off my chest.  Step it up in a couple areas and I think I would be satisied with the rest of staff, hospital especially and outcome
