Hey y'all? Does someone have a recommendation for a lap band doctor in DFW? Specifically the Grapevine/Southlake area?

Thanks!!

Hello:

I live in Saginaw and will be banded by Dr. Marsden on May 25th. He's actually done 2 of my friends and they have had FANTASTIC results. I believe he is conducting a seminar at "The Surgery Center of Hurst" tomorrow night @ 7 pm.

I met someone on this message board a while back and she is using him as well. We've met in peron and she is a jewel. Good luck and welcome to lapband land!

I am also using Dr. Marsden in 7 days. He has more than one office. I used Lap Band Solutions for my initial consultations and insurance stuff.

I live in the Dallas Area. I used Dr Cribbins in Plano. I can't say enough good things about him and his staff :)

I live in McKinney. Dr Frank Veninga is in Carrollton. Dr Barker in Garland has a good rep. Cribbins in Plano. Provost in Ft Worth, I believe. Seems like there are bunches these days.

Davyna,

Dr. Powell is SO nice!!! The day of my surgery, my surgeon was nowhere to be found and Dr. Powell came and talked with me. Really calmed my nerves!

Everyone is doing such a great job!!

      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.
