Baton Rouge here! I had VSG with Drake Bellanger at the new Woman's Hospital, and let me tell you, that place is SWANK! My husband kept taking pictures of the hospital room...

Dr. Bellanger is awesome, can't say enough about him and his whole staff, great people. I was out of pocket.

So far, so good - I agree with whomever saw Linda Braud the dietician, she is adorable and so helpful!

Oh, I forgot, surgery date was 12/6/12!

Baton Rouge here!! I'm currently starting my 90 day hoop-jumping for Artna. I'll be using Brent Allain.

I'm from Baton Rouge too! Who did your surgery?

Hi!

My name is Jenny' date=' and I live in Denham Springs, La. My insurance (Humana) covered my sleeve at 100% so I was limited as to where I could go. In the Baton Rouge area I would find a Surgeon, but then the hospital they used was not "hospital of exellence". So I had to go to Layfayette which was a pain (the drive to and from), because it was a 8 month process. I used Dr.Chu, and she is great and REAL. I've only seen her twice. Once for a consult, and once the day after my surgery. Of course I saw her during my surgery but I wasn't awake for that. I'm a little disappointed that no one has called from their office to see how I am doing. I had my surgery on Thursday, June 28,2012. I think the real star of the show at that clinic is Kate Roundtree the Nutritionist!! I love her and she has helped me so much. I feel like I can ask her anything. Just yesterday I emailed her a creamy blackbean soup recipe and she looked it over and oked it for me. Love her! Because I just recently went through this surgery I'll be happy to answer any questions. I had a wonderful experience, have experienced no pain and am so ready for some mushy foods!! I would love to have a close to me support group if anyone is interested.
