Need help finding good Dr. in DFW (Texas) area



Recommended Posts

I was banded by Dr. Jay. I saw him at one of the information sessions that included several other physicians in 2003. His name stuck with me, Dr. Jay. If I had to do it again, I would not use him. I started the process on Jan 3, 2006 with my initial consultation. I was banded on May 30, 2006. I had NEVER met the man until I was at the surgical center about to be given the shot to render me unconscious. I have not had a meeting with the man since the surgery. His PA & staff are great (but what do I know I have nothing to compare them to)! I tried to schedule my fills by him. It didn't work out becausue he was out of the office when I arrived. Find someone who has a little more dedication to his patients.

Very pleased with Dr Kuhn, great bedside manner. Baylor was superb experience. Husband & I had it as the same time.

2 weeks post op, I'm down 14 pounds & Husband has lost 15.

Well, I've got to chime in and say that Dr. Smith and his staff are wonderful too. His office is in FW and he does his surgery out of the Surgical Center in Hurst on Precinct Line Road.

Texas folks, I think we are blessed or lucky to have many great docs in our area!

Hello

Dr. Adam Smith did my surgery...we have a support group that meets the 1st and 3rd Tuesday (in Ft Worth) at 6pm. He pays for the facilitator who is a registered psychologist - her name is Marcie.

I think he covers your fills for the 1st year...

Dr. Smith is banded as well - most of his office staff has been banded so they know the real deal.

You can contact his office at 817.850.1100. You can google him to get more information.

Please check him out!

Dr. Smith provides a year of free fills only for self-pay patients. But I agree...he is SUPER!

to Librarygirl: I also used Dr.Bryce in Rowlett. I really like him , he had removed my gallbladder several months before my banding and is a really nice guy. Did you have any problems with continuing help? I stopped recieving info about seminars, etc. months ago and am just on my own now. I was banded May 16, '07

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
