Call LBS - Laparoscopy, Bariatrics, and Surgery, Dr. Smith and Dr. Ferarra, I believe they will take patients that are not their surgery patients. Dr.Ferarra is my doctor, both Dr.s are great, and staff is wonderful, and Dr. Smith is a band patient himself!!! 817-850-1100 The office is off, 30 and Forest Park Blvd. in Fort Worth.

There is a large bandster group in the metroplex in yahoo groups called dfwbandsters. They are very helpful and offer support dinners/lunches throughout the month where you can meet other bandsters. I have attended some of these and find them encouraging and helpful. Since I was banded in Mexico, I needed to find fill doctors, too. The ones that I know of in the dallas/fort worth area include:

Dr. Walter Dobson: 972- 660-3188 (I think he may be in Grand Prairie, but call and find out)

Dr. Jayaseelan: 972-566-2263 (Dallas, and this is who I go to for fills now)

I know that Dr. Carter is in Fort Worth and may see you, too. He just isn't listed for taking patients banded in Mexico.

I would go to yahoo and join up dfwbandsters though and get some support set up and they may have other doctors to add to this list.

Take care!!!

Dr. David Kim in Colleyville takes patients from other physicians as well as from Mexico. Be sure to get your operative report which shows what type of band you have and the notes that show how much saline you have in your band. Dr. Kim's website is www.drdkim.net

Okay, wow. Dobson is now doing LapBand stuff? He did tumescent liposuction and abdominoplasty on me in 1999, and I ended up SO SICK from the procedure.... (though he was really pretty reasonable as a cash pay patient, I was thinking about seeing if he was still in the business after I lose weight with the band, to have him take up some excess skin for me!).

Sorry, side-tracked. My banding doc will be Dr David Kim (as mentioned above, now in Colleyville), and I know TLC Edge has a program, and is considering allowing fills from other doctors. They have multiple locations around the metroplex.

Good luck.

      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. 🤞
