Dr. Francis Henderson is my obgyn very good doctor he's at women's hospital here in baton rouge......good luck
I recently moved to Baton Rouge and need help with an obesity related problem. I will be seeking someone to help with surgery soon but in the meantime I have another medical issue I need help with. I need to find a Gynecologist in this area who can test and treat a woman of my size which is 460 lbs, 5’6” with most of the weight carried in my abdomen. I have a huge hanging apron which hangs to my knees (and this is pre-surgery). Anyway, I had been to 2 other gyno’s before I moved here and they were barely able to put me on the examining table and when I did fit they didn’t have the correct size equipment to do a pap smear or anything like that. I know that it is hard to maneuver around the heavy and thick thighs and I doubt it is a pleasant task but I have recently been experiencing scary symptoms which lead me to realize I desperately need to be examined. Have any of you had problems like that and if so, how did you find someone? I call everyone in the area and keep getting told they cannot help me. I also need a CAT scan of my heart and with my mid-section being so large, I cannot fit into CAT scan machines (even the ones that are supposed to hold my weight). There is apparently 1 machine that should accommodate me but I can’t locate one. Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.
I had my surgery at Ochsner by Dr J. Wooldridge. Everything went well I was released next day. Had a little rough patch with dehydration (my own fault) but I wasn't hospitalized. But I am 2 months out now and down almost 60 lbs (HW 357 SW from 339 to CW 283) and even tho ive been stalled for a week (which I expected with rapid weightloss) these inches are dropping at rapid speed. Ive went from a 26-28 W to a 22W and even they are getting loose already. So No Regrets. I also have a Youtube Vlog if ya'll wanna keep up with my progress or ask me questions: https://www.youtube.com/user/tclay1985/videos
Good Luck to U all!!!
