horns10 0 Posted January 30, 2007 I went to Dr. Benavides's free seminar on the band and came away impressed, he really does give you the impression that he does want to help. I'm not banded as of yet but i've signed up to get the process started with him and his team. Good luck on whomever you choose! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NurseLaureli 1 Posted January 30, 2007 Hi all....I am looking into lap-band surgery with Dr. Castro at Dallas Methodist. Has anyone heard anything about him? I know he came from El Paso and is new at Methodist. I have to go to Methodist d/t my insurance so I don't have much choice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GayleTX 1 Posted January 30, 2007 Laureli.......you might go to Obestiyhelp.com and go to the Texas forum or the Sugeon List and check to see if there are any customer reviews there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He even has a sense of humor ive come to appreciate!! I used Cribbins. It is funny how different they are. Dr Hamm did one of my fills. Dr Cribbins is the super nice, tender touch kind of doctor and Dr Hamm is as you've described him. They are great - both of them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
missy67 0 Posted February 10, 2007 I have my first appt with Dr. Cribbins on Monday, he does a seminar and consult at the same time? How long did it take until he scheduled surgery OUSOONER? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ousooner 1 Posted February 10, 2007 Yes at the same time. He holds the seminar in the waiting room, then calls patients back one at a time for the consult. I had my surgery 5 week after the consult. I would suggest getting there early. They call back in order of when you came in. Good luck, hope you like him. I sure did. Keep us updated. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
missy67 0 Posted February 10, 2007 OUSOONER My appt is at 9am so I plan on being there around 830. Was the hold up on your ins or is he just that busy? I looked at his pt reviews on obesityhelp.. seems the major issue was no after care- what was/is your experience? missy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
