Help me find a Doctor in the DFW area



Recommended Posts

:help: Does anyone know of a doctor that will take a patient who allready has a lapband? I live between Dallas and Ft. Worth and my doctor does not take my new insurance and the names of the referrals he gave will not take a patient who is allready banded. I am desperate for a doctor. If anyone can help I will be so grateful. Thanks, Janie

Have you checked with Dr. Maese? I know he takes some from his uncle in MX. Who did your surgery?

Thanks for responding. I have never had a fill. I will have had my band for 2 years in May. I had lost 50 lbs but think I have gained some of that back. I need to make sure everything is o.k. in there and yes get a fill. I have no restriction but I have never had a P.B. I have been scared of fills but I really need one and just to get checked out. Could you tell me more about this doctor? Where is hid Practice? Thank you so much...Janie

Janie, check with Dr Jayaseelan. I know he does fills for just about everybody and for only $50 if he does them in his office. His website is www.texaslapbandcenter.com His office is at Medical City Dallas. That is just south of the Central Expressway/High 5 intersection.

Between Dallas & Ft. Worth?

My wife and I are scheduled for surgery in a couple weeks with Dr. Sewell in Southlake. www.lapbandspecialists.com

We're paying for it ourselves, so I can't say which insurance plans he participates in - but I do know that he's done fills for folks that didn't use him for their surgery...

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
