Call LBS - Laparoscopy, Bariatrics, and Surgery, Dr. Smith and Dr. Ferarra, I believe they will take patients that are not their surgery patients. Dr.Ferarra is my doctor, both Dr.s are great, and staff is wonderful, and Dr. Smith is a band patient himself!!! 817-850-1100 The office is off, 30 and Forest Park Blvd. in Fort Worth.

There is a large bandster group in the metroplex in yahoo groups called dfwbandsters. They are very helpful and offer support dinners/lunches throughout the month where you can meet other bandsters. I have attended some of these and find them encouraging and helpful. Since I was banded in Mexico, I needed to find fill doctors, too. The ones that I know of in the dallas/fort worth area include:

Dr. Walter Dobson: 972- 660-3188 (I think he may be in Grand Prairie, but call and find out)

Dr. Jayaseelan: 972-566-2263 (Dallas, and this is who I go to for fills now)

I know that Dr. Carter is in Fort Worth and may see you, too. He just isn't listed for taking patients banded in Mexico.

I would go to yahoo and join up dfwbandsters though and get some support set up and they may have other doctors to add to this list.

Take care!!!

Dr. David Kim in Colleyville takes patients from other physicians as well as from Mexico. Be sure to get your operative report which shows what type of band you have and the notes that show how much saline you have in your band. Dr. Kim's website is www.drdkim.net

Okay, wow. Dobson is now doing LapBand stuff? He did tumescent liposuction and abdominoplasty on me in 1999, and I ended up SO SICK from the procedure.... (though he was really pretty reasonable as a cash pay patient, I was thinking about seeing if he was still in the business after I lose weight with the band, to have him take up some excess skin for me!).

Sorry, side-tracked. My banding doc will be Dr David Kim (as mentioned above, now in Colleyville), and I know TLC Edge has a program, and is considering allowing fills from other doctors. They have multiple locations around the metroplex.

Good luck.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
