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.

Babs in TX

334/180

-154

new goal: 170 or less...

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
