Alot of ppl around here have said that Dr beall is great!

Hey Shell, I live in Tyler but I was banded in Dallas. I heard Dr Beall is good and I have met Dr Babineau at a business function and he seemed nice plus his practice is a Center of Excellence. If you are self pay like I was Dr Kim in Colleyville is very reasonable, price wise and is also a Center of Excellence.

I have very similar stats to you. I am 33, began my lapband journey at 280 lbs, and am 5'2. I am now happily maintaining at about 140...
