Hi,

As you can see I am new here. I am considering lap-band or gastric bypass surgery and am looking for a doctor in Dallas. I was doing some research and wanted to get an unbiased opinion. What do you guys and gals think of this lap-band surgeon in Dallas? I saw his TV commercial and he seems nice. Anyone had any experience with Dr. Wade Barker?

Hi and welcome. I live in the Dallas area and was banded by Dr Cribbins in Plano. Can't say enough good things about him and his staff. His website is Welcome to yournewhealth.com. I have a link on my website as well. Good luck in your rearch and let me know if you have any questions. Be happy to help.

<p>I went to one of Dr. Barker's seminar's at Dr. Maese's clinic and came away impressed. However, when I finished my pre-ops with Dr. M., he assigned me to Dr. Benevides. I have a history of heart problems and someone in his office said that was why I got sent to Dr. B....dont' know exactly what that meant, but it worked out very well. Had no problems or complications or pains of any kind.</p>

I used AIGB in Dallas and my surgeon was Dr. Felts. AIGB can be found at LAP-BAND Weight Loss Surgery | True Results. I was very impressed with the customer service. I never felt like a number. I was called every two -three days before surgery and after surgery was contacted twice by the surgeon Dr. felts to check up on me. There are several Doctors in the practice and I am sure you will find one you like. They offer seminars weekly. I went to three different seminars with them and chose my surgeon based on the impression I got from their individual presentations at the seminars. I felt Dr. Felts personality was much like my own.

Good luck
