Texarkana has a great team of Lap Band doctors, Dr. Ron Hekier and Dr. Rachael Keilin, at Precision Surgery. They have astounding success and would likely be cheaper than Dallas or Little Rock.
In Budapest, Hungary. Doctor has done over 1,000 lap bands personally over the past decade.
Two nights hospital stay with excellent care.
Fills in the US are paid for my medical insurance.
I had my surgery on January 4, 2007. That excruciating pain lasted for a couple of months, then went away completely. That pain was blinding, but I did find relief with a hot water bottle or heating pad.
