Hello all! I am in the beginning stages of research on this procedure. Has anyone had any experiences with doctors in the Dallas area or have heard any information? So far I have been reading about Dr. Robert Powell and Dr. Nirmal Jayaseelan (Dr. Jay). Does anyone have any input? Thanks everyone!!!

I am going through the Pathweighs group at Lake Pointe Medical Center in Rowlett. The surgeon's are Dr's Bryce and Ritter. I am a RN at the hospital and have personal experience with them and trust them implicitly. The Pathways dept handled all the insurance stuff and got me approved in two weeks. The pre-op and post-op program is so structured and successful that several other centers and physicians have asked for copies of this program. I am scheduled for my surgery July 11th so I'll keep you posted.

Me and my husband both used Dr. Powell and he did an excellent job. No problems have arisen for either of us. His staff is very nice and will work with your insurance company to get fast approval.

I love Dr. Smith's office in Fort Worth! He banded me in 2003 and I have been working with Dr. Smith to get to my goal weight. I am 20 pounds away! Dr. Smith says that I am perfect now but he understands my need to get there. I love it that most of his office is banded.

I am currently awaiting my insurance approval, and I origionally was going to use D.R.Jay.I am having second thought's because I feel like I am in this alone, I have had little or no help with his insurance coordinator.I thought they were suppost to be on my side.My mother-in law and sister-in law were banded by D.R. Powell and have had nothing but support.

Analise,

Dr. Richard Carter in Arlington is my doctor/surgeon. he has done more than 700 lapbands and operates out of the Medical Center of Arlington. He is by far the best lapband doc in North Texas. I do know all of the other surgeons that were mentioned personally. I am very active in the lapband community. Email me if you have any other questions.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
