A friend of mine and her husband had the lapband surgery by Dr. Hagood in Dallas about 3 years ago. The problem is Dr. Hagood does not do fills so he recommended a doctor who has since retired. My friends have never had a fill yet! I'm haven't figured out if they are just not taking the time to find someone or if they are really having problems locating a doctor.

Are there any doctors in the Dallas area who will take patients when surgery was performed by another surgeon?

I was banded by someone else. I get my fills done by Dr. Jayaseelan at Medical City. He charges $250, but does them under fluroscopy. I really like the ladies in his office.

I'll pass on that info - thanks Gladster12!

Hello, I just got banded on Oct 1, st and so far so good, although I have to admit that i am very nervous of some the problems that I read about-

However I am trying to keep a positive attitude.

I only live about 2.5 hrs from dallas and was wondering if you could give me the address or phone number to the dr.Jayaseelan that you recommended?

I had my surgery done in Mexicali by Dr. Aceves and the staff was awsome, however, being away from home sucked and I think I would rather go to a closer dr.

Thanks for any help.

You can get them done at the Surgery Center of Richardson for $100....no fluroscopy though, or at least I was told they don't use it. I haven't had my first fill yet though so I'm not sure.

Dr. Maise is in Dallas. I have an appointment with him on November 1. He does not do bands, only fills. He charges 200.00 with flouroscopy and the first visit will cost an additional 175.00 to get established. His nurse says he is very aggressive with his fills.
