Try this info. If not your may also try looking for Dr's at a website called ObesityHelp - Gastric Bypass, LAP-BAND® System, DS and Other Surgical and Non-Surgical Weight Loss Options.

hi elchew,

what's BC/BS?

i found my doctor on this website. he and his staff are amazing!

but you can tool around here and read about the various doctors in our area.

we have alot of choices in houston.

www.lapband.com also has doctors in the area. it is sponsored by the participating doctors..so keep this in mind

but i recommend this site "Lapbandtalk.com" because people are really honest . use the search function above

good luck. it is the best decision i've ever made.

I want to say thanks for the input and for the PMs I have received on Dr’s in the Houston area.

I have found Dr Waggoner at Journey Lite. There is more then a few Dr’s to pick from here in Houston. I chose to go with Journey Lite because of the after care.

Thanks once again

elchewtoy!!!

i went through journeylite of houston, but my surgeon is Dr St Laurent. i love him, his staff are amazing too.

Looks like we will be in the same support groups, (if i can find them place again) every time i go down i get lost. i live in maine but went to houston to be banded specificly by dr st. laurent. His stats were very favorable. I wound up setting up a winter place down in galveston to come back to for the winter.

anyway, NICE TO MEET YOU!!! and maybe we will see each other at the support group meetings.

I am being banded in November by Dr Turnquest in Houston. I really liked him and his staff. Don't know if he takes BC/BS but it's worth a look. Good luck!
