Houston Lap banders please help...

courtney2001 · July 18, 2008

I am trying to find a surgeon in the Houston area. Thera are many large surgery centers that you see advertised a lot and I am going to one of the informational seminars on Sat. I have called and left messages with about 3 of them in Houston and I am dissapointed to say that I haven't even been responded to. This makes me uneasy about these places.

If you were banded in the Houston area and liked your surgeon please respond with your reccomendations. Thanks so much!:thumbdown:

Hi. I am 4 days post-op. I used Dr .Richard Collier - he has offices in Conroe and in the Woodlands:thumbup:. He is with Journeylite but i used the Conroe Regional Medical Center instead of the Journeylite surgery center because I have PPO benefits. Fantastic surgeon with excellent bedside manner! My family and I were completely confident in him. I thanked him after the surgery and he said "The Lord took care of you while i just did a little work on you" .. Very Good Chrisitan doctor. He uses a fantastic anesthesiologist, also. They are wonderful!

Wilkenfeld in Conroe. He provides the best aftercare of any doctor in Houston.

I went through True Results and have been very happy with the staff and my doctor, Dr. Hollis.

I am currently going through Dr. Robert Marvin with Methodist Weight Loss. He is really laid back and knowledgeable. I am in month two of a three month diet program. Surgery will be at Methodist which is a center of excellence. Some insurance companies require surgery at a Center of Excellence, be sure to check that. To find more information go to Methodist Hospital website, you can even sign up for the seminar there.
