I am in Shreveport, and just learned about Dr. Borland....driving down to New Iberia on 5/28/13 to check it out...Skeptical but I did search him and have not found any negative reviews. Curious to know what you think of him?? Will let you know my opinion after I go there in a couple of weeks.

A few people on here used him. Haven't heard anything bad. I think he's so much cheaper because you recover in a local hotel and checks on you there

Dr. Treen at West Jefferson in Marrero did my husband in November. I think his cash price is about $14K. Insurance covered his surgery, but not mine, so I went to Mexico in May for $4650 plus airfare!!

Just to update this topic: I was sleeved on 6/11/13. I did choose Dr Borland, and I've been very happy with my care from him, his staff, and the staff at the surgical center. Thanks for everyone's help. I would've never heard of Dr Borland without VST.

The price was $ 9800 + $270 for preop tests (labs, X-ray, EKG).

If you are willing to come to Texas & don't want to do Mexico, there are a lot of doctors in the Dallas area doing cash packages for $11,000 & less.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
