Surgeons in Lafayette, Louisiana Dr. Chu/Dr. Cunningham

Hi! I am new to this journey and I will be self pay. Has anyone used these doctors in Lafayette, Louisiana? I live in Denham Springs, Louisiana. I would love to connect with more people from this area also! My current weight is 245, and I would love to get down to 175. Anything extra would be a blessing!

Hi! I don't know about the doctors in Lafayette, my surgeon was in Lake Charles, and I love him. Thought I'd say hi though.

I am from Louisiana. I saw Dr. Chu in Lafayette last year but decided not to use her at that time because my insurance didn't cover the sleeve. However this year they do. I am in Alexandria and I am seeing Dr. Parrish. I have heard good things about their office and I have a cousin that will be getting sleeved there soon.

Yes, I did like her. I felt comfortable in the facility and liked the staff. They are very organized there and provide you with all the information you need. I think you would like it! Good luck!

Hi I'm scheduled 2/25 with Dr Thomas Borland in New Iberia. About 20 minutes outside Lafayette. If you are self pay it's $9800. I know about 15 friends that have went to him. All sing his praises. He's real nice.

Woman in me I just had my sleeve with Dr . Bordland Tuesday . He was great .

Wow! Are you serious? How long does he keep you? The office in Lafayette charges 13,600. Does Dr. Borland makes you do all the testing? S far from what I am hearing I will only have to do bloodwork.

Dr. Bordland is 9800. Cash then you pay for your own blood work which is blood test and EKG . All my tests was 250. Then your consultation was 200. . The only thing you pay besides that is 2 nights at a hotel which I had a suit was 83.00 night . I schedule my consultation and in two weeks had my surgery .

Women and Children's Hospital in Lake Charles is a Bariatric Center of Excellence. Dr. Keith Chung is excellent. Google him and check out his credentials. Good luck!

That's who my surgeon was. I love Dr. Chung. I was cash pay, it cost me $14K

Danyel,

I am 31. I have high blood pressure.

I used dr Borland in new Iberia. No problems at all. Lost 60 lbs in 6 months. Mine was also $9800 with 200 consult. So it a $10000 dollar surgery. I'm so glad I did this!!!

My $200 consult was included in the $9800. He doesn't make you jump through hoops. Very nice man. I'm staying at the Ramada Inn, I talked them down to $60 per night. He comes to the hotels and checks on you each day. That is where the savings come in. No hospital stay. He sends you home with the leg pumps for circulation and you mail them back to him after 1 week.
