Are you looking for a surgeon in the state of LA that takes Medicaid?

What insurance do you have...

I have United Healthcare. I had 2 change last year because I had La Health connections. Nobody took it then.

I had my first visit with Dr. O'Connell's office May 1. The appointment was great . I just have 2 see the dietician for 6mo, plus a psych eval. Hopefully by the end of Nov or early Dec I'll be on the journey to a better lifestyle. Please dont give up. I have tried numerous Dr's. ..this is the first on that I've actually seen.

I have an appointment with Dr. O'Connell in October. Did you like him?

Very much so. My next appointment is July 12 with the dietician. Had my first one June 7. 1 down 5 more too go.

How long did your first appt last.

Hi

I would get on the phone and request they let you change your policy. Don't take any "you have to wait" until enrollment line. Let them know to either give you the name and number of a WEIGHT LOSS SURGEON that takes your insurance or let you change plans to one of them that Dr. O'Connell is taking. Again here is the list:

United Healthcare

LA Healthcare

Amerihealth Capis

Keep me posted :-)

Kathy who did you go thru for psych eval? Im having a hard time finding someone... the Dr Macgregor Lady never answers the phone. I completed my 6th visit already just having trouble with this one thing

Good Morning Tanya,

I didn't have weight loss surgery in your state. I had mine 14 years ago in Chicago. That being said I work in Member Services for OH and try to help members find a surgeon. I am going to PM you and let's see if we can find someone for you.

Thanks I appreciate it
