Hello I am from the Texas area and I used Dr Benevidas and he was wonderful and they are so helpful at AIGB. They have made this whole experince wonderful. If you need phone numbers or anything just let me know.

I went to Dr. Benavides's free seminar on the band and came away impressed, he really does give you the impression that he does want to help.

I'm not banded as of yet but i've signed up to get the process started with him and his team.

Good luck on whomever you choose! :D

Hi all....I am looking into lap-band surgery with Dr. Castro at Dallas Methodist. Has anyone heard anything about him? I know he came from El Paso and is new at Methodist. I have to go to Methodist d/t my insurance so I don't have much choice.

Laureli.......you might go to Obestiyhelp.com and go to the Texas forum or the Sugeon List and check to see if there are any customer reviews there.

I used Dr. Cribbins. Had a great experience and did several of my co-workers. I have a link on my website to his office.

I used Cribbins. It is funny how different they are. Dr Hamm did one of my fills. Dr Cribbins is the super nice, tender touch kind of doctor and Dr Hamm is as you've described him. They are great - both of them

I have my first appt with Dr. Cribbins on Monday, he does a seminar and consult at the same time? How long did it take until he scheduled surgery OUSOONER?

Yes at the same time. He holds the seminar in the waiting room, then calls patients back one at a time for the consult. I had my surgery 5 week after the consult. I would suggest getting there early. They call back in order of when you came in. Good luck, hope you like him. I sure did. Keep us updated. Thanks.

OUSOONER

My appt is at 9am so I plan on being there around 830. Was the hold up on your ins or is he just that busy? I looked at his pt reviews on obesityhelp.. seems the major issue was no after care- what was/is your experience?

      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.

      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! 😞
