Hello everyone I am new to the whole banding process. Everyone I talk to says they know someone that has a horror story related to it. But I sometimes think they confuse it with other types of stomach surgeries. I guess I feel that at this point it is still not enough to convince me to stop looking, if they had struggled with being overweight most of their life as I have they may feel the risk would be worth it too. I am needing some feed back on finding doctors in the DFW Texas area that are experienced with the whole banding process and good at what they do. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am still nervous but determined. Thanks to all of you who reply.:couch2:

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.

I totally agree with gonnabethin, I used Dr Cribbins in Plano and he and his staff were just too wonderful for words and it doesnt hurt that hes kinda good looking too...lol

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!

Dr. Bryce in Rowlett did mine and he is a fellow bandster so he knows exactly what is going on with us. Loved him and his staff!

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
