Weight Loss Surgical Center of Baton Rouge Bariatric Center


All I can say. . . is that Dr. Bellanger is awesome!!!! He has been so supportive and so wonderful throughout my entire surgical experience. Dr. Bellanger has such a wonderful bedside manner and he has really earned a lot of respect from me by just listening to me and my concerns. I have never felt rushed or brushed over and he is so well versed in his field.rnrnI do find his office staff to be always rushed and not especially personable- but Dr. Bellanger himself - seems to make up for all of their short comings. rnrnOn a scale of 1-10, I would rank Dr. Bellanger- far off the charts. rn

I went for my consultation visit today.The whole experience with Dr. Hargroder was awesome. The staff was very nice as well. Ok so Im almost a month out...I LOVE Dr.HARGRODER...He was so AWESOME!!!! He makes you feel like you have known him for years, he is so down to earth and on top of everything. I would highly recommend him to anyone wanting to have surgery:)

Hey there...Dr. Hargroder was great!!! My Sleeve went great!! I'm in minimal pain and discomfort! The wounds are healing great. His office is very prompt with answering questions, and returning calls!!! Cindy is the greatest, she has all the answers, and when she dosen't, his PA Holly does!!! I feely totally confident and safe, suggesting anyone to see him!!!

My first impression of Dr. Bellanger was WOW! He explained everything all of the procedures that he does and then he meets with everyone individually. The office staff was very helpful and nice. St. Elizabeths Hospital is awesome. I have never been to a hospital where i had such a great experience. the staff there is great! Dr. Bellanger emphasizes after strongly! I had a sleeve gastrectomy and i have not regretted having the procedure done or having Dr. Bellanger do it.

I liked Dr. Bellanger from the first time I met him. He took his time explaining the risks with VSG and how important aftercare is. He is a very caring and knowledgeable doctor with a great bedside manner. They have support group meetings around the LA area, but since I live over 2 hours away I am not able to attend them. I would have to give Dr. B a 10 for being such a great surgeon and I am glad he is the one who performed my life changing surgery!!!
