Looking for Central Texas bandsters

[Noni 0]

Hello fellow Texans! I am planning to have the lap band done in the very near future. I am a self pay patient, so will probably go to Mexico. I am considering Dr. Rodriquez in Juarez first. If I could find a good surgeon in the states that was close to MX cost then I would consider that also. If you are close to central Texas and have been banded, where do you have your fills and where did you have your surgery? I am excited and scared at the same time! Would love to hear from you!

I got banded on 11/8/07 by Dr. Longoria at Southwest Bariatrics here in Austin. Everything about my experience has been perfect...I can't say enough good!!!

I live in the Austin area and have been going to True Results on Palmer hope to send in to Insurance on 1-23-08 for approval we have been getting all the requirements to send in. My wife is also planning to have the band also after mine. The people at True Results have been easy to work with I just hope the Atena goes approves the WLS.

Noni,

What part of Central Texas do you live? I live in Killeen Tx and I am planning on being banded by Dr Ganta in Austin (Austin Bariatric Institute). I had my initial consultation with him in Dec. I am using my 401 K to pay for the procedure seeing that my insurance does not cover bariatric surgery.

Hey.. I see the yellowjacket on your avatar! I grew up in Granbury and went to Tarleton for my B.S. I love Stephenville! Great town! My wife and I talk about all those walks in the parks we had while we were dating there.

I was banded in Nov. 07 here in Waco. Dr. Sims.

We used to live on Long Street right with all the old houses and brick paved roads!

By the way... did you see any UFO's the other night? LOL!

[skculpepper 0]

No, I didn't see the UFO. It has been rather entertaining. Stephenville is a wonderful place to live. I grew up here and graduated from high school, went to Tarleton, moved to Houston and got married, had children, now moved back to Stephenville to be close to my family.
