Hey BooKoo,

I was banded a week ago today in Texarkana with Dr.'s Rachael Keilin and Ron Hekier. I AM SOOOO VERY PLEASED! Their website is www.pswecare.com and their phone number is (903)794-0022. They have done over 250 lapbands, the after-care is fabulous (inclusive of a support group), they have a real "bulldog" of a gal that works with the insurance companies, and currently they have a cash price of around $15,000. I think you will be pleased with them. Oh...they also hold seminars every other Tuesday evening at Wadley Regional Medical Center...give them a call and see what you think!

Good Luck!

I had my band with dr. Benavides, out of Richardson/Dallas area. He has done several thousand bands, he works at the Surgery Center of Richardson, TX. They specialize on only doing lapbands. Thats all, nothing else.

Easy to find too, since I am from Okla., they were just a couple miles from the big hwy 75 and Dallas central Park expressway? Very easy.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
