Thought I would see how many of us are from this area. When are we going to get together?

Yes I will be coming in on Friday and leaving out sunday night! Anytime on Saturday would be great!

Rica - Remind me right before you come and if at all possible I will meet you! We sometimes ride our Harley's down there and if the weather is nice it might be a good time to head that way so we can meet you!

I'm probably gonna go with Dr. Powell - please tell me about your experience:Bunny

with him & staff! I would appreciate ANY feedback!

Thanks,

Hey, I live in Mesquite also! I was banded by Dr. Powell 10/04

Betty that sounds great...Can I also have a ride! I love harleys!

Sure you can Rica!

Hi Dixie, I'm in Cleburne and I used Dr. Powell for my surgery. His staff was wonderfull. He is a little on the dry side. My surgery went well. The only thing I have to complain about is not really about me (well, I guess it does involve me). I was a cash pay patient and I was referred to Dr. Powell by Dr. Maese in Ferris Tx. I had my surgery in November of 2004 and as of yet, Dr. Powell has not released Dr. Maese's portion of my payment to him. They have finally agreed to pay him but I don't know if the payment has come across yet. He tried to say that I wasn't referred to him and came to him on my own will. Well I didn't even know who Dr. Powell was until Dr. Maese referred me to him. Any ways, though you should know that. If you are a cash pay patient and will use Dr. Powell for your follow ups, you have nothing to worry about. But watch out if you are a cash pay patient and you go somewhere else for the follow ups. Dr. Maese was doing my follow ups for free until all this got straightened out. I love Dr. Maese.

Thanks! See you in a few days! I am so excited~!

I think I'm going to check out Dr. Wade Barker. he seems to be within my affordability range.

Hi I live in North Richland Hill. I have never seen this site. I would be intrested in getting together sometimes also I need a new Doctor. My insurance changed and Dr. Rodriquez does not take my new insurance..Thanks Janie

Darn.. of course I'll be out of town when Rica comes.. AGAIN.

For those locals. I've bought myself a house in McKinney and I'll be moving over the Memorial Day holiday, then back to St Louis.. Ugh... It'll be nice WHEN I can actually LIVE in my new old house...

Congrats Leatha on your house! I bet you are happy, I know how much you wanted your own place.

Hello everyone.

This is my first post to this group. I nave not been banded yet. I am still in the process of finding a Dr in the area. Any assistance you can provide in recommending a local Dr that performs this type of surgery would be appreciated. I live in Justin, TX, next to the Texas Motor Speedway, Between Denton and Ft. Worth.

HI Mystyblu

As you can see by my name, I'm a racing fan. I know exactly where Justin is!!! I'll be having my surgery done at the Richardson Surgery Center by Dr. Anderson at the end of June. I live in Allen

I to am from Corinth, TX just North of Lewisville and know exactly where Justin is. I can hear the Race track from my backyard. Big Race Fan and Harley Davidson Fan. My husband and I both ride. I have a consultation appt with Dr. Powell June 18 and so hope I can get this done. Good Luck and if you get together let me know.
