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.

Sleeve in Lafayette is $11,500 with Dr. Gachassin and Dr. Eschete at Lafayette General.

This is a really good deal.  Other places charge around 2,000

Hey guys. Recovering well. I am down 44 pounds total. I feel good. Aunt Flo has visited so I am a bit tired now but cant seem to stop and rest. If I try and take a nap all I do is lay there. My body wants to move. I eat pretty much what I want just in really small amounts. I still have a hard time getting in my liquids. I am only averaging 23-33oz a day. I feel like I am drinking all the time. Purple onions do not like me. lol. I had trouble in the beginning with stomach spasms that felt like contractions but those are gone now thank goodness. They were painful. I did develop an infection under one of my incision that had to be opened back up drained and I had to pack it for a while now it is almost closed up. other than that I am good and well on my way to healthy. I am sooooo glad to be on this side of the surgery. Now it is all up to me to lose the weight. Anyone thinking of having the surgery please don't wait. It is the best thing you can do for yourself and your loved ones. You are worth it to live a longer healthier life.  It feels good to have the restriction to keep me from over eating. I have no regrets.

Can anyone give me information on complication insurance?  The surgeon is offering it for $500.  Are there any other policies available for less money?
