Hi, I'm new to this forum and I look forward to getting to know everyone, the support here is amazing :) I have a few questions about the surgeons at Acadiana Weightloss Surgery. Has anyone here been sleeved by either of the two? I am finding more reviews on Dr.Gachassin rather than Dr. Eschete. But not all of them are great. Some say his bedside manners are horrible! I can only find 1 review on Dr. Eschete and it's great, but I wish I had more to go off of, one review isn't much. I'm just wanting some feedback on their quality of care and your experience with these doctors.

Also, I am cash pay, how long did it take you to get a consultation and into surgery? I called the office and asked the staff this questin and didn't really get an answer. I have the cash and I am 100% sure I want the sleeve. I would like to have the surgery next month, if not I will have to wait until the end of August.

Thank you so much!

Dr. Gachassin sleeved me, and Dr. Eschete sleeved my cousin.

They were both great. EXCELLENT bed side manner.

They have the BEST program in LA, and the BEST price.

The total cost was 11,500.00. This included the pre op consult, and one year of follow up.

I was seen and had surgery within 5 weeks!!!

Good Luck

      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!!
