@@Bebee did you ever find a dr in La that accepts medicaid? Im wondering did you do your surgery and who did you use? I know its been a couple of years since this post, but Im new and just ran across it. Dr.Dominguez in Covington is the only Dr so far thats accepting it now. Was hoping to find more Drs.

@@Fonteli37 we're in the same boat. I'm new and also looking for surgeons near Lafayette or Lake Charles.

Are you looking for someone who accepts your insurance, or just a good surgeon in that area?

I'm looking for someone who accept medicaid.

The only Dr in Louisiana that accepts medicaid for gastric sleeve is Dr. Dominguez in Covington Louisiana. I have checked into it. I live in Lake Charles and would have to drive to Covington if I want to use him.

I will definitely look up his info and give him a call. Do you know if you need the 6 months documented weight loss attempts?

They sent me a package and in the package it says that they do 6mos nutrition and weightloss assessment with medicaid patients bc its a requirement for medicaid to pay. So yes, you will have to have that before surgery. You can do that in your area they said. You dont have to travel to them. Call and ask for Cheryl and she will send you a packet.

Thank you so much! I have 5 months so far so almost there! Are you thinking about going to Covington?

I hate to break the bad news, but I'm thinking in order to pay for it, you'd have to do 6 mos under Dr.Dominguez's patient. But hey, it'll come in no time. We are ALMOST already at Christmas 2015, look how the year has flown by!!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
