help,,,, my surgeon is leaving Louisiana

I am supposed to be having surgery in March, just found out my surgeon is leaving La. in June......does anyone know a surgeon who does the Lap-Band surgery. i am very close to the Lafayette area....... Kateri

There are 5 surgeons on the group I am using but they are in Covington. Oh, the all do lap band.

My doc in Lake Charles offers both Lap Band and Gastric Bypass. His name is Keith Chung M.D. I believe that Dr. Chu in Lafayette will soon be offering the Lap Band as well. Good Luck.

Hi Kateri, I'm a lap band postop and I live in the Baton Rouge area. My surgeon is Dr. Karl LeBlanc and if you want some background on him, check my blog and OH profile. If you want a private referral or you have specific questions, please email me. Sounds like you have good options and I wish you well. Frances
