"It is a very clean enviroment and they are all very nice and understanding. Some there had not even had the surgery and you would not even know it, because they treat you just like they had been through the exact same as all of us over weight patients. I only wish they were all over the world for everyone. I was blessed.
Thanks VSC

"I think my doctor is pretty cool. He is the serious type, but at the same time has a bit of humor :-)
Staff is ok. I am having my surgery done at Tulane Medical, so there are a lot of different Med. Students I meet.

I wrote the above statement around April in 2001. I am now seeing DR. Karl LeBlanc in Baton Rouge, La.
My first impression was, WOW!! Yeah he was cute and very very polite!
My impression after meeting him was even better. He explain everything to me to a Tee. Any question I asked him he had the answer.
The Staff at NeWeigh is simply awesome! I have no complaints about he or the staff at all. 90% of the Staff there have all had the surgery also and told me about their story and showed their before pics.
There was nothing that I did not like about none of them. They are all wonderful!!!
I think future patients should know that if they go to NeWeigh, they will get nothing but the BEST Care with the DR's and Staff!!
The DR. emphasizes aftercare strongly. He strongly lets you know how important it is to follow the rules after surgery. He let me know how imperative it is to follow the directions and rules after surgery.
Yes, he has a very good structured after care program. He let me know how important it is after the surgery to stick with the food list the first 10 days after.
When I went to DR. Jafee in New Orleans at Tulane, None of the above issues I have talked about with NeWeigh were discussed with me. There was nothing told to me on what to eat before nor after the surgery, And with NeWeigh there are classes to help teach you and understand what to and not to expect. I believe that God always has a reason for the way things turn out. I firmly believe that I did not have the surgery in 2001 because I was meant to be brought to NeWeigh. "Thank You Jesus!!!"
He held nothing back about the risk of this surgery. He went straight forward and wide open about this surgery from start to finish.
I would rate DR. Karl LeBlanc on a scale from 1-10, a 100!!!! Without a doubt!
His Surgical Competence and Bed Side Matter are both Great!! He also has a wonderful sense of Humor And ALL of his Staff are Great!!! I thank My Lord and God for sending me to NeWeigh."
