I was wondering the same thing. Have you heard anything about him? My family doctor recommended him. Do you have any info on any other doctors in Tyler?

Thanks!

Dr. Babineau did my lapband surgery in Feb 2007. The only time you actually see him is at 1st meeting and the day of surgery. After that, you will see his P.A. Cathy. I havent been pleased, I have a 4 cc band and on my 1st fill I was given 1 cc (6 weeks after surgery) then I went back 1 month later and got another 1 cc fill. I call doctors office and and told them I thought it was too tight, was told that it sounded like it was just right I was couldnt eat hardly anything. I was getting choked on most everything I put in my mouth. I finally went back after about 3 weeks and I told them I thought that I needed about 1/2 cc taken out. I think all was taken out, because now I can eat anything. I called back to get an appt to get some more put back in and I have been waiting for 2 months to see them, because they were too booked up.

Not sure if anyone else has had this problem, maybe it is just me.

I was referred to Dr Babineau as well - does anyone have any recent experiences they can share?

I have an appointment scheduled with Dr Babineau in January, but after reading these posts (and talking to some people), I just don't have a good feeling about Dr Babineau. Have an appointment on Wednesday in Richardson at True Results.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
