YOU ARE WELCOME, AND YES PLEASE LET ME KNOW THE OUTCOME.......

Hi Lisa,
 I called the office on Yesterday and was referred to another Doctor. Her name is Dr. Angela Charron. Dr. Steeb's office was directed to direct new patients to her. Problem is she doesn't answer the phone and its a voice mail deal and.................... she isn't subscribed to the voice mail service so that renders it a very ineffective phone call. Her number is 504-903-3333.  Also, I was told that Dr. Steeb will not be back in until late march or early April.
 So on today I called Dr. Steeb's office back and told them I wanted to see him. The nurse was very nice, she took all my info and has me registered already. I am so Happy!
  I called my primary care and am having her call me on tomorrow so I can give her the fax number and have her send in my referral and any other necessary information that will help my case.                                                                                                          Brenda

yea i called yesterday as well to reschedule my jan appt to march but was told the first day he will be back is april 1st

welcome to this site and to this forum, we have all grown to know one another and to be as supportive as we can for the others, we are all in the same boat here. hoping you can get into see dr steeb, he has been a blessing to us all. good luck! 

well we can't do this alone, so anyone that is supportive ia a plus to me.

we are sisters in surgery!

 i didn't receive the letter..but i haven't gotten any farther on my investigation.  but my hopes are up...and since i haven't gone through the nutrition class yet..and i wasn't scheduled.  i wasn't as disappointed.  however...if i don't hear from the the nutritionist soon....i will be a mite disappointed.  i want to be in the next class however virtual it may be.  i'm ready for march.  ready for the sunshine and the warmth and flowers and a new beginning.  wish i had known you guys were around on the sixth.  


btw...dr. nick's retro ray bans are awesome.  i'm just saying.  however...he strikes me as well...i won't say it...cause i fear it may be viewed as a snipe...but...he's gorgeous...attentive....sensitive...a great psychiatrist...draw your own conclusions.  but i look forward to my second visit with him whenever that may be.  he's been more helpful to me than the other psychiatrist i saw here after my mom passed in '08.   

welcome brenda... and isnt nick gorgeous my jesus... he is right up there with danny mccoy from las vegas.

I am on Medicaid, and in live in the Hommond area... I lived in New Orleans, but since the storm I've re-located.  I was excited to read there is a Dr. that accept Medicaid for the weight loss surgery.  I see at LSU?? I'm out of the loop. Well be calling! Thank you.

yea i live in ponchatoula... im sure you got his number off the site but if you need to know anything else just ask... i got everything but surgery date done so i can tell you about everything up to this point.
