I used Dr. Adam Smith in FW. He has had the procedure himself. No problems so far and he and his office staff are very helpful and professional.

After much, much research, I chose the best in the business, (my opinion) Dr. Robert Sewell in the southlake area. What makes his practice really stand out was not only his experience, but the after care that was included. Great man, changed my life.

2yrs. 6mos post op.

Starting weight of 430, BMI of 56

Now at my 3 times adjusted goal of 195, BMI of 22

Life is soooo good!

My doctor is Dr. Marsden - office in Hurst. Really nice doctor, listens to you, and answers all questions and more! He's done over 3000 lap band procedures, so I felt really comfortable working with him.

Best of luck to you in choosing a doctor!

      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.
