Call LBS - Laparoscopy, Bariatrics, and Surgery, Dr. Smith and Dr. Ferarra, I believe they will take patients that are not their surgery patients. Dr.Ferarra is my doctor, both Dr.s are great, and staff is wonderful, and Dr. Smith is a band patient himself!!! 817-850-1100 The office is off, 30 and Forest Park Blvd. in Fort Worth.

State: TX | yahoo group may help
There is a large bandster group in the metroplex in yahoo groups called dfwbandsters. They are very helpful and offer support dinners/lunches throughout the month where you can meet other bandsters. I have attended some of these and find them encouraging and helpful. Since I was banded in Mexico, I needed to find fill doctors, too. The ones that I know of in the dallas/fort worth area include:
Dr. Walter Dobson: 972- 660-3188 (I think he may be in Grand Prairie, but call and find out)
Dr. Jayaseelan: 972-566-2263 (Dallas, and this is who I go to for fills now)
I know that Dr. Carter is in Fort Worth and may see you, too. He just isn't listed for taking patients banded in Mexico.
I would go to yahoo and join up dfwbandsters though and get some support set up and they may have other doctors to add to this list.
Take care!!!

Dr. David Kim in Colleyville takes patients from other physicians as well as from Mexico. Be sure to get your operative report which shows what type of band you have and the notes that show how much saline you have in your band. Dr. Kim's website is www.drdkim.net

Okay, wow. Dobson is now doing LAP-BAND ® stuff? He did tumescent liposuction and abdominoplasty on me in 1999, and I ended up SO SICK from the procedure.... (though he was really pretty reasonable as a cash pay patient, I was thinking about seeing if he was still in the business after I lose weight with the band, to have him take up some excess skin for me!).
Sorry, side-tracked. My banding doc will be Dr David Kim (as mentioned above, now in Colleyville), and I know TLC Edge has a program, and is considering allowing fills from other doctors. They have multiple locations around the metroplex.
Good luck.
