RDBILES. how are you doing? I have my appointment with Dr. Barker tomorrow. Will ck with you tomorrow to see how you are doing. Walk around as much as possible, this will eliminate most of your gas.

Helen, how long did you do you pre-op diet? Was it just liquids? Melissa

You need to try and find some fresh halibut or fresh tuna. Is is great grilled or baked.

Hey Helen, I know how excited you must be. Let us know how you are doin?

Hi Myra, Glad to hear from you. Do you have nay words of wisdom for us newbies?

heartsmile4, I have BCBS PPO,and can go to anyone, but was concerned with the out of pocket expense. Since with BCBS he is considered out of network. Do you mind sharing what that has been? I think you have made a good choice. I personally know people he have used him.

wlg bean, just want to ck in on you. how did your surgery go? let us hear from you when your able.

heartsmile 4...what insurance do you have? i wnated to use Dr. Cribbins /Hamn but he was not on my insurance. I am go glad to hear from others going thru the same thing. Keep in touch Melissa

CONGRATULATIONS TO EVERYONE!! I can not wait for my first apt on 3/1.

You have come to the right place. This forum is like a family. Huge(no pun intended) support group. Just curious....what insurance do you have?

Congratulations Tracey! I am excited for you. Hopefully, the time will fly by. I have my first consult on March 1st and can't hardly wait.

Hi, I so excited to have made the committment. I have my first apt on March 1st with Dr. Wade Barker in Dallas. I live north of Dallas in Prosper. I have so many questions that I dont' know wherere to start. This forum is great and has answered a lot of my questions. I feel like you all are a family and truly care about one another. WOW! what support. For once, with all the diets and so forth that I have tried over the years my DH of 30 yers is on board with me. This is going to be greatness. Anyway, good luck to everyone. Melissa

How many of you have used Dr. Barker? My apt is on March 1st Taylordive how are you doing after your surgery? Hope your doing well. I fwould be great to hear from some of you since I am new to this and unsure.

Hi all, I am a newbie here. Not banded yet, first appt is March 1st with Dr. Wade Barker. I have BCBS and he is in-network. I live in Prosper, and was going to go to Dr. Cribbins, but he is aconsidered out of network. I figured that if BCBS is going to pay, why should I choose out of netowrk and incurr the added expense anyway, has anyone used Dr. Barker? Thanks for any and all info. Melissa P.S. Congrats to all of you for your successes.
