Dr. Merriman did my Lap Band on Medicare 3 Dec 2007. He came highly recommended and I second that recommendation.

Hi 1st post after lurking for several weeks. Do you know the self pay amount with Dr. M? And where around NE LA will you get your aftercare/fills? Hope to go to the seminar for Dr. Sartor next week. I am still in the research phase. Oh, Monroe, LA here!

Paylady. I am doing mine through Dr. Cribbins in Dallas, Tx. My aftercare will be with Rita Zuber at the Calhoun Family Clinic.

West Monroe here. I thought I was going through Dr. Merriman, but I have to go to New Orleans for my insurance to cover it.

Our group is a certified Center of Excellence, if it is a Medicare issue for you. We are possibly a bit closer than New Orleans.

Dr. Hekier,
I am currently in West Monroe, LA and I am having my surgery with Dr. Cribbins in Dallas, TX who works in conjunction with Rita Zuber in Calhoun, LA for aftercare. Everything of mine is submitted to insurance and I am waiting on approval, so I really am not considering moving surgeons but I have gotten several people interested in considering lap band who ask for referals. Do you have an aftercare program in other areas?
