Pondering the Band

[kutia 0]

Hi y'all,

I'm in Texas. I'm still thinking about getting banded. I'll be lurking on this site until I make up my mind. I'm going to attend an info. seminar soon in Richardson. The name of the place is the Surgery Center of Richardson. Has anyone gotten their band there and what was their experience like?

If I decide to do this, I'm sure I'll be on this board frequently.

Hi There. I didn't have my surgery done at SCOR. But I did have it done by Dr. Louis Fox who does do banding at SCOR. My husband carries the insurance and works at Medical City so that is where I had to go. I have heard good things about SCOR. That is where I will be having my fills.

Good Luck to you.

I was banded yesterday July 3rd in Plano, TX by Dr. Stephen Hamn.. He is located off the toll way and parker.. It went pretty well, just sore.. His website is www.yournewhealth.net if you want to check them out.

Well, I seem to have made progress with the pondering. I went to an informational seminar last Saturday. Now I have made an appointment with Dr. Jayaseelan for a consultation. So now my question is, What will we consult about? What kinds of things go on at a consultation? I assume height, weight, medical history discussion. What else? I'm going to be a self-pay if that matters.

Biggame - Congrats on your banding. I used Dr Hamm's partner, Dr Cribbens. Love the office and staff. Good luck

Kutia they have to do like a mini seminar almost. You have to be able to say you have been fully informed about the surgery and risks, etc etc etc.

My initial one took about an hour but it was with a different doctor.
