Dr. In Texas

ksskid · October 15, 2008

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.
