danasuze 0 Posted August 1, 2008 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
U_go_gurl68 0 Posted August 1, 2008 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bestsummerever 0 Posted August 16, 2008 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ShelbyD 0 Posted August 16, 2008 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.
