I used Dr Benavidas in Richardson. He was wonderful and knowledgeable. I was banded on 7-10 and have so far had no problems and 22 lbs lost so far since i started the process. I ended up choosing him after several people I knew recommended him. I'm really glad I did. I contribute my quick recovery in part to him being a great surgeon with lots of experience. Good luck on your journey!

My surgeon was Dr. Victor Gonzalez in Dallas. I loved him. Very sweet man and answered all my questions to my satisfaction. The office staff and nurses are also a very nice group of people.

I went through TLCEdge and he is the surgeon they scheduled me with. They work with many great surgeons in the DFW area.

Best wishes on your journey,

Stephanie

I used Dr. Richard Benavides, my surgury was 8/11/08 and I have had no problems. Staff is friendly and helpful and very nice. There is also a great support group that meets once a month. You can check him and the other doctors that he works with out at lapbandsolutions.com. They have an advertisement on this page that I have seen flashing at the top.

My surgeon was Dr. Wade Barker in Dallas. He was the second Dr. I saw before I decided to go with him. He does more bypasses than lap bands but I think he did a great job for me. I had very little post op pain. Good luck in your search. Make sure you find someone you are comfortable with.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
