Help me find a Doctor in the DFW area

: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. My surgery was done by Dr. Dirk Rodriquez at Methodist Hospital in Dallas...Janie

Do you just need fills? I was at Dr maese's office today and he was filling a girl that was from Florida.

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.

Dr Veninga has taken pre-banded patients in the past. Me, being one of them. He's at Trinity Medical Center, Carrollton. 972-939-6380. His nurse, Barbara is awesome!

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...
