I have just started my journey with Dr Merremen here in Shreveport. I was wondering if there were any others out there that have had experiences with him. Lemme know!:help:

I am not using Dr. Merremen, but I saw you were from Shreveport and wanted to say hi. I am from Jonesboro, Louisiana (about 2 hours from you) I am a self pay and am going to use Dr. Lavin in Covington Louisiana (hopefully). I am still waiting on my paperwork. I was going to use Dr. Benavides in Dallas ($15,000), but I found some people on this site that used Dr. Lavin and he is $12,900. Oh well...I do digress...good luck on your journey. I think that I saw this Dr's name on one of the other Louisiana forums. Hope you have a great day!!!

thank you so much for the reply I'll have to search for Merrimen later. I am waiting for my insurance to hopefuly okay everything. Good luch with your new path!

Well I Talked To My Primary Physcian's Nurse, They Received A Form From Medicaid To Fill Out Concerning My Health Diagnoses, I Can Hardly Wait For All To Be Done, So I Can Be Lap-banded.....i Have Read So Many Good Reports From Everyone....losing...losing.......losing.....i Am Happy For All Of You.......donna In Jonesboro

I, too, am have the lap band procedure on June 29,2006. However, I'm having mine completed in Tijuana, Mexico.....YIKES!

I had my surgery done by George Merriman II M.D. in Shreveport and you can't ask for a better caring dr. I love all his office help and thecaring person he is. he doese believe in after care. We meet in his office once a month. Sharonn

I second that!

My husband has friends who used Dr. Merriman and recommended him highly. Due to aftercare being more local we are using Dr. Cribbins in Dallas and all aftercare will be in Calhoun, which is a hop, skip and a jump from West Monroe.

I know I am pretty late. I was banded 2/27/08. I couldn't have asked for a better dr so far. He is such a funny, down to earth, talented man.

I just had my first fill. He was so professional and made it so comfortable for me.

I am scheduled for June with another doc in Shreveport. I have an appt with Dr. Merriman today actually to see if I would rather have him do it. I have heard great things about him and his clinic. I would love to know more from you, Tara.

Thanks, Karen R
