This is one of the greatest forums. I have been lurking reading and absorbing what everyone has to say about the band and decided to actually make an appointment for a consultation. My appt is monday with Dr. Criggins office in Dallas Tx. Has anyone here used him or his partner? I have ckd with my insurance (united healthcare epo) and there really isn't any hoops I have to jump through so I am keeping my fingers crossed.

    I don't know anything about Dr. Criggins - but Welcome to LBT! Hopefully, some other Bandsters have used him.

    You might also try searching under Criggins. Click on Search (in white on the blue bar at the top of the page) and type in Criggins.

    Also - you might try going to the Doctors & Hospitals forum and posting your question there.

    Good Luck and Happy Banding!

    Congrats on taking you first step!!!

    You're right, this sight is excellent, without it, I doubt I would have been able to make the big decision.

    GOOD LUCK!!!!

    This site was very helpful in contributing to my decision between the RNY and Band. The biggest obstacle is now convincing my husband that its the right decision. He is usually very supportive but we have agreed to disagree on this one subject.. he just says to tell him where to show up at and what to buy for me to eat.. lol

    Hi Missy! Welcome to lapbandtalk Forum! I personally think you made a great decision to go with the band. I spent a long time researching both the band and bypass. I am only 10 days post banding, but very glad I did it. Feel free to pm me or send an e-mail, I will be happy to answer any questions you may have. Best of luck to you-Gigi:)
