LA. Sleeve Surgeons

Hello Louisianians.


I have heard that there is at least 2 surgeons in the state that are doing ( self pay ) sleeves for about 10.000.

Can someone please give me their names. My friend in GA. is interested in having the procedure done.

Thanks so much !!!

Dr. Gachassin & Dr. Eschete do sleeves for $11,500 in Lafayette.  Great results and fantastic program.

Dr. Shimer in Lake Charles does the sleeve. He is a wonderful surgeon with a fantastic staff. I do not know how much they charge for self pay. 337-433-8400.

Thanks sooooooo much guys !!!

I used Dr Gachassin in Lafayette and as louisianagirl09 stated the self pay cost is $11,500.  That breaks down as $8000 for Lafayette General Medical Center and $3500 for the surgeon.  The hospital cost included up to 3 days in hospital if needed and the surgeon's fee includes 1 year of followup checkups with the Dr.  The only other cost I had was $100 for Psych Eval and my lab work preop and postop has been covered by my health insurance. 

Love his Bariatric program...there is a nutritionist, exercise person, behaviorial modification person and they are all great.  The monthly support group is also great.  We just had our December support group and instead of our usual meeting we had a Christmas party with everyone bringing a bariatric friendly dish and you brought the recipe to share. 

Dr G...you have changed my life for the better.  Thanks you so much.
