Baton Rouge Surgeons that do Lap-Band & Gastric Sleeve

Hello Everyone, I am just starting to do my research on the different procedures. I wanted to find out if anyone knows of a surgeron in the  Baton Rouge area that do the Lap-Band & Gastric Sleeve.  Which surgeon  is the cheapest in the Baton Rouge area. Is the lap-band cheaper or the Gastric Sleeve? Also, what is the difference between the lap-band and Gastric sleeve? I would really appreciate any information. thanks

I had my surgery in Lafayette with Dr. Gachassin.  They charge $11,500 for sleeve.  I think the band is only a little bit more. Great program too and I heard best sleeve prices around.
