I had my sleeve done on July1...and I paid cash for it in Louisiana. I live in Shreveport and the 3 surgeons there where all about $18,000 & up. However with some research I found Dr. Borland in New Iberia about 3.5 hours south of Shreveport and paid only $9,800! I am traveling down today for my 1 week post op visit....I have done quite well comparing to some posts that I have read here and have already lost 20 POUNDS!! I feel great and the only regret is that I did not do it sooner! Hope this helps! Good luck with your process.

I am getting sleeved July 1st! So excited & nervous at the same time...I have waited a long time for this to happen!

Glad you are doing well! I am going to New Iberia on May 28 if all goes well they said they will schedule my surgery within 2 weeks....hope your recovery continues to get better & better.

Happy Mother's Day! Congratulations on your success!

I have my consult with Dr. Borland on 5/28/13....I have been seriously seeking out this procedure for about 4 years however being self employeed our medical insurance is not the greatest and excludes weight loss surgery so I am forced to self pay. I sought out surgeons here in Shreveport but their costs are $18,000.00 & up. I was elated when I discovered Dr. Borland and his cash pay price. I am a bit nervous because he does things differently such as no overnight hospital stays and no drains....Can someone that has had the procedure recently share what they went through before & after the surgery with me? I have read all the posts and excited that I may have found a surgeon that is great without having to take out a loan to pay for the procedure.....just looking for some confirmation...Thanks!

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.
