Need help finding good Dr. in DFW (Texas) area



Recommended Posts

I was banded by Dr. Jay. I saw him at one of the information sessions that included several other physicians in 2003. His name stuck with me, Dr. Jay. If I had to do it again, I would not use him. I started the process on Jan 3, 2006 with my initial consultation. I was banded on May 30, 2006. I had NEVER met the man until I was at the surgical center about to be given the shot to render me unconscious. I have not had a meeting with the man since the surgery. His PA & staff are great (but what do I know I have nothing to compare them to)! I tried to schedule my fills by him. It didn't work out becausue he was out of the office when I arrived. Find someone who has a little more dedication to his patients.

Very pleased with Dr Kuhn, great bedside manner. Baylor was superb experience. Husband & I had it as the same time.

2 weeks post op, I'm down 14 pounds & Husband has lost 15.

Well, I've got to chime in and say that Dr. Smith and his staff are wonderful too. His office is in FW and he does his surgery out of the Surgical Center in Hurst on Precinct Line Road.

Texas folks, I think we are blessed or lucky to have many great docs in our area!

Hello

Dr. Adam Smith did my surgery...we have a support group that meets the 1st and 3rd Tuesday (in Ft Worth) at 6pm. He pays for the facilitator who is a registered psychologist - her name is Marcie.

I think he covers your fills for the 1st year...

Dr. Smith is banded as well - most of his office staff has been banded so they know the real deal.

You can contact his office at 817.850.1100. You can google him to get more information.

Please check him out!

Dr. Smith provides a year of free fills only for self-pay patients. But I agree...he is SUPER!

to Librarygirl: I also used Dr.Bryce in Rowlett. I really like him , he had removed my gallbladder several months before my banding and is a really nice guy. Did you have any problems with continuing help? I stopped recieving info about seminars, etc. months ago and am just on my own now. I was banded May 16, '07

      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.
