Any info about the process with BCBS TX would be helpful if you could pass it on. I'm in SE TX (right on the LA/TX state line on I10)and hope to use Dr. Dean in Beaumont. I more than qualify on BMI, type 2 diabetic, arthritis, high cholesterol, GERD,slleep aptnea..jeez when I write it down really sounds like I'm falling apart doesn't it? LOL Ara

Hey everyone, live in Texas now but from Alabama (family from Hartselle, Courtland, Decatur) Hope you don't mind if I lurk and see some of the feedback for the Doctor's in Alabama.

Are any of you in the SE TX area? I've just started the approval process (going to use Dr. Dean in Beaumont) and hoped to find someone close that might have information about Dr's, clinics and BCBS TX.

I've used Dr. Hahn for other surgical procedures and was more than pleased. I've had a consultation with him about RYN (which is all he did at that time) while he was still in practice in Orange, TX and found he and his staff to be helpful and knowledgeable. I've also been looking into the Bariatric Center at Christus Hospital in Beaumont. Please let me know if you've used someone else and how it went as I'm just now starting the process to be approved for Lap Band (i.e. 6 mth doctors visits, diet and medication counseling and weight loss program). LOL Can you tell I have BCBS?
