I have not made my first appointment to see a lap-band Dr. and I am trying to make a decision..any suggestions..thanks;-)

Do you have a Dr. in mind?

Where do you live? Will your insurnace cover it or will you go to Mexico?

I responded to you on your other thread about this. Good luck!

I used Dr. Sanchez in Monterey. Very good doctor, has performed over 4,000 lap bands. The hospital was also great! Cash cost about 8900. You can finance.

i am in the DFW area and just had my surgery done in Arlington. Doctors name is Richard Carter.

I live in Southern Calif. Original surgeon was Dr. Lopez in Mexico then have aftercare with Dr. Billy in Ventura, CA. Both are good surgeons. Just make sure you have aftercare set up prior to going to Mexico.

I used Dr. Spivak here in Houston

Does anyone know anything about Dr. Frank Veninga in Carrollton, Texas?

I used Dr Arturo Rodriguez in Monterrey Mx I loved him!

I was looking for someone around Carrollton, Tx. that is on United Healthcare EPO. Thanks

Hi, OkieJudy, you might want to start a new thread under introductions and share what you'd like w/us...like how much weight you'd like to use, any ?? about your dr., when you plan on getting your band,etc. More people will notice it and respond to you. Best of luck!

I am new at this. How do I do that?

I am in Houston and have United Healthcare EPo

I'm scheduled for Dr. Sanchez in 2 days and I'm so ready to get this over...i've started my blog and plan on offering what I can...frankly speaking there's no much outstanding info out there I don't know what I could possibly offer in the way of sharing information.

Good luck on your band. Do you live around Carrollton? Our weight loss goals are about the same. I need to lose 84 lbs.

I had my surgery on 3-21 by Dr. Sanchez, he is wonderful. I have already lost 9 lbs.
