    self-pay--cost of Texas Drs.??

    Dr Barker uses staples instead of stitches. They come out easier than stitches, and I think the scar is thinner, at least the other long scar that I have from another surgery he performed a few years ago is thinner than the other one I have from another doctor before that. The last I heard, Dr barker charged $12,000, which includes the hospatil. It is day surgery. I will call the office Monday to see if they have raised the price.

    I just saw Dr Barker today, to get my staples out. He told me that he charges $12,000 now. It is day surgery, and you are usually are in and out in about 6 hours. He's in the process of getting a bigger office right now. There was SRO in the old one. Betty

    Hi everyone!

    Hello Everyone, I had my band done last Monday with Dr Barker in Mesquite, and love it already, though I will be happy when I am able to taste real food again. I found LBT the other day, and so happy that I did. You all are a GREAT bunch! I have learned so much just reading what you all have gone through. Helps a great deal. My next project is to figure out how to get the Ticker going. Betty

    I just had my LapBand done with Dr Barker this last Monday. He is the GREATEST! This is the second time that I have had surgery with Dr Barker. (some repaires) He is not in Dallas, so that may be why you haven't found him. He has offices in Garland and Mesquite.
