    I will be interested to see what everyone has to say. I am just starting to look into revising from LapBand to sleeve. If my doc did revisions to sleeve, I would definitely be going back to him...I LOVE ME SOME DR. MARSDEN! But alas, he does not...so I am on the hunt for a sleeve doc in DFW.

    I am in Plano and will be getting sleeved on Dec. 31 - Dr. Cribbins. My sister had her surgery with him 3 years ago and was very pleased.

    There are loads of DFWers here, me included! If you haven't already, I highly suggest you start visiting the many support groups in this area: http://www.bariatricpal.com/topic/259587-dfw-area-weight-loss-surgery-support-groups-list/
