Topic: RE: Anybody use Dr. Borland in New Iberia?
I was told that any and all visits that pertain to my sleeve surgery are covered in the surgery price. There is no time limit to it. However, having said that, if I were to have a gall bladder problem later on, that is not considered to be related to my sleeve. I wouldnt have thought that, and I doubt that there are any other docs that would consider it to be so either.....just a little common sense maybe...lol

Topic: RE: Waiting & Hoping to have Surgery
Thnak you!
My primary doctor approved me for surgery and I'm contacting the doctors he recommended today. I've signed up for a seminar to learn more. Howeverm ,my doctor wants me to stick to a diet for one month to see what happens before having surgery.

I had my consult with Dr. Borland today. It went very well and I am satisfied with my decision to use him as my surgeon.
Oh, and I actually called to Dr. Gasschasin's office and his price was $11,300 or $11,600....cant remember which. He also would require me to have a psych evaluation and some other misc things that I will not have to do with Dr. Borland. Since I am self-pay, every little bit helps...
Tink I am gonna send you a private message.

Tinker: You may want to look into a program that offers you staying in the hospital. At LGMC in Lafayette, Dr. Gachassin performs the sleeve for a great self-pay price and you get to stay up to 3 nights in the hospital. They also have a great team including a nurse that had gastric bypass. Surgery is a tool, the keys to success are education and great post-op care.

Have you considered a surgeron that will allow you to stay in the hospital? Dr. Gachassin in Lafayette has very competive sleeve prices and an excellent program with a great team of professionals that educate you before surgery and follow you for a year after.
