Looking at Doctors in Lubbock, TX



Recommended Posts

Hi, I'm new and am thinking about lap band surgery. I have found 2 doctors in Lubbock that perform lap band surgery...Dr. Job Buschman and Dr. David Hall. Has anyone used either of them and what was your experience? Thanks.

I have heard that Dr. Hall is good. He has been doing them for a long time. I used to live just south of Lubbock in Brownfield, Texas. He was just started to use the band in 1999 when they first came out. That is about all I know.

I have been banded 6 months as of today.

Hello, I don't live far from Lubbock and called a couple of doctors in Lubbock to check prices. I know one of them was Dr. Hall. I remember that the prices were between $14,000 & $16,000. I am going to go to Dr. Guillermo Alvarez in Mexico on the 9th of May. It is costing me $6900 there. I haven't found a doctor up here yet to do fills though.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
