Congratulations!!! I was sleeved on June 14th and as of today I am 91lbs down! We have a 45lb punching bag and I can't believe I was carrying around 2 of those just 6 months ago!!! Best decision we ever made for ourselves! I have about 35 more to go and I know I can do it! So can you! New Year, new us!
I have heard that there is a doctor at Oschner Hospital in New Orleans that accepts it. Don't know a name though. Wish I could be of more help to you. Sorry!

There are support groups at Women's Hospital and St. Elizabeth once a month. The Women's is the second Wednesday of the month. Good Luck!
I went with Cunningham he works along with Dr Chu, I haven't heard anything negative about Dr Chu, though I could tell you this the support team they offer is next to none in Louisiana.
