Doctors in the Dallas area?

[Guest Annalise]

Hello all! I am in the beginning stages of research on this procedure. Has anyone had any experiences with doctors in the Dallas area or have heard any information? So far I have been reading about Dr. Robert Powell and Dr. Nirmal Jayaseelan (Dr. Jay). Does anyone have any input? Thanks everyone!!!

I am going through the Pathweighs group at Lake Pointe Medical Center in Rowlett. The surgeon's are Dr's Bryce and Ritter. I am a RN at the hospital and have personal experience with them and trust them implicitly. The Pathways dept handled all the insurance stuff and got me approved in two weeks. The pre-op and post-op program is so structured and successful that several other centers and physicians have asked for copies of this program. I am scheduled for my surgery July 11th so I'll keep you posted.

Me and my husband both used Dr. Powell and he did an excellent job. No problems have arisen for either of us. His staff is very nice and will work with your insurance company to get fast approval.

I love Dr. Smith's office in Fort Worth! He banded me in 2003 and I have been working with Dr. Smith to get to my goal weight. I am 20 pounds away! Dr. Smith says that I am perfect now but he understands my need to get there. I love it that most of his office is banded.

I am currently awaiting my insurance approval, and I origionally was going to use D.R.Jay.I am having second thought's because I feel like I am in this alone, I have had little or no help with his insurance coordinator.I thought they were suppost to be on my side.My mother-in law and sister-in law were banded by D.R. Powell and have had nothing but support.

Analise,

Dr. Richard Carter in Arlington is my doctor/surgeon. he has done more than 700 lapbands and operates out of the Medical Center of Arlington. He is by far the best lapband doc in North Texas. I do know all of the other surgeons that were mentioned personally. I am very active in the lapband community. Email me if you have any other questions.

I may be going to Tijuana for the surgery, but cannot find a doctor here that will do fills. Anyone know one in Southeast Texas..or Houston?

Thanks,
