Has anyone from Dallas/plano/richardson used the clinic TrueResults? Or anyone used Dr. Barker in Garland?

Hi. I'm Dee and I am sort of new here. Today was my very first appointment with True Results in Richardson, Texas. I live in McKinney and work in Plano. The good news is my insurance will pay for the lapband, if I prove I can't diet lol. The bad news was BCBS requires I go to a "certified blue hospital" to have the surgery. Now I'm back to not having the money to pay the hospital. Seems like BCBS will only pay 50% of the hospital bill now because of this. Has anyone had this experience?? The only hospital they seem to have found with this "certification" is near Denton, about 45 mins away from McKinney. And they, BCBS, expect me to try dieting for 6 months before it will totally be approved. Geez...if I could "diet" why would I be trying to get lapband? Dam insurance!~ Corporate yuk! I hate all this. And will all of this, is my concern of letting go of the excess food after lapband. Huh. I will be on all these boards reading and hoping to connect with others as well. Thanks in advance. Newbie, Dee:biggrin2:

Hi All. Can someone refer me to the best lapband doc in the Dallas/plano area?? I have BCBS first was told to go to TrueResults place then someone new told me to go to a Dr. Baker in Garland. Anyone know these? Dee
