Southwest Medical Center Lafayette, La



Recommended Posts

Hi I will be having surgery in the South West Medical center in lafayette,la with Dr. Cunningham. I am curious about others experiences with the hospital staff and doctors. How long does it take after the insurance approval usually for them to get the surgery schduled. Also if they filed your insurance for you how long did it take? I am a little woried about using them because they never return my phone calls and my Dr. Cunningham is not very nice. So I am worried but I am to far into it to change hospitals. Any personal experiences will help. Thanks :biggrin2:

HI I just wanted to let anyone know that my experience was good :crying: I was banded on july 16th. I gave the paper work over on monday june 23rd they filed by that friday and I was approved on that monday. So the nice ppl in the office is Kate the nutritionist and Audre. If you do go with them you have to stay on them all the time and ask lots of questions.. Everything went great for me because I did this but some other that I spoke to waited 6 weeks just for an appointment. So like my grandmaw always says the squeeky wheel gets the oil :eek: I tried to be that squeeky wheel :frown:

I had mine in Lake Charles. Womens and Childrens Hospital and Dr. Chung. Both of them were great. So glad I used them.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
