I was just wondering if there were anyone in here who had their band installed by Dr. Beall or McKinny? I was wondering also how your surgery went and how you are doing so far. I personally have had a great experience with Dr. beall and his staff. looking forward to talking to yall.:clap2:

I live in <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /><st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">Lufkin,</st1:City> <st1:State w:st="on">Texas</st1:State></st1:place> and I will be submitting all of my information to BCBS (I work for the school district) soon and waiting for approval. I hope to have my surgery over Christmas break so that I will have time off to recover without missing time off of work. Does anyone out there have this insurance? I was told that it paid if the procedure is medically necessary. I also wanted to know if anyone used Dr. Hambrick or Dr. Meyers in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">Lufkin</st1:City> <st1:State w:st="on">Texas</st1:State></st1:place>. This is who I am thinking of using, but I can't find anyone who has used them for the LapBand. Just wanted a little feedback. I would also love to talk to someone out there from my area for support. I need it bad. I am a single parent of four young children and no family around. I work full time and go to school full time as well. Just looking for someone to talk with and maybe for a little encouragment.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>

it has been along time since i posted this and wanted to bump it to see if anything has changed.

Sorry you are a bit farther up the state than I am, I live in Orange and used Dr. Hahn who did the surgery in Beaumont.

I was just looking for people arounf this area but can't seem to find to many people around this area but I know there are 3 banded a week here in tyler from one doc. but it was good to hear from ya thank you.
