Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

Recommended Posts

Good morning all!!

I have since had to change directions, and am now looking for a doctor near the Odessa/Midland, Tx area. I was wondering if anyone knew of someone in Lubbock, Abilene or even San Angelo. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!!

I live in Lubbock but could not find a doctor here to do it because they said my bmi was too low. I ended up going to Dr. Seger at New Dimensions Weight Loss in San Antonio...which I'd highly recommend but it is a little far. I know Dr. David Hall here in Lubbock has been advertising on tv a lot for the Lap Band procedure.

Hope that helps!

That does help, thank you!!

I was actually scheduled to meet with Dr. Smith in Ft. Worth, but after taking an un-paid day off from work yesterday, driving all the way there, just to have them cancel my appointment...I decided that maybe I should find someone closer, especially with having to go back for fills and such. But thank you!!

There are 2 in Abilene that I know of, Dr Einspanier and Dr Frazee. I called Dr Einspanier's office and asked how many lapband surgeries he had performed and was told well over 100. I couldn't find much information on either doctor but there are some reviews on them at ObesityHelp.com.

Thanks Karen, I appreciate your reply. I actually found a doctor in Lubbock, Dr. David Hall. He only performs weight loss surgeries and has done well over 5000. I read the reviews on him on ObesityHelp and he seems to be pretty well-liked. :D

      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.
