i think everyone that has Treen must use Michelle. I like both Karen and Michelle. I go for my 2nd post-op viist on the 8th.

@@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.

Thanks for the info. I want the surgery so bad that I'll drive!

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?

my mom just had it done at our lady of the lake in baton rouge. I can not recall his name started with a W i believe

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?

Dr. Thomas Borland, New Iberia! Had wonderful experience July 7th 2015. Staff and surgery center was great!!

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!!

I had orginally planned to pay cash with Dr Alveraz in Mexico. Ive done a ton of research and his reviews are AMAZING and so is his staff. A friend went to him in April. The cash price is only 8500. Then I found out that there was this Dr in Covington that accepts medicaid. Ive researched and researched and can't find hardly any patients at all that have used him for the sleeve, so Im a bit skeptical and nervous. I spoke with his nurse, Laurie and asked questions and she was a total bitch about my asking questions, like "how dare you ask questions" is how I felt. So, that did not ease my mind any at all. Cheryl was more helpful. Im not going to totally rule him out just yet, Ive asked for a consultation and being 4 hrs away could he do a phone conference. Of course rude Laurie says no, he generally doesnt do phone consults. Well, Im 4 hrs away, you'd think he could make an exception!?! I'll drive for it I guess if I have to. Then make my final decision.
