I used Dr. Adam Smith in FW. He has had the procedure himself. No problems so far and he and his office staff are very helpful and professional.

I used Dr. David Kim at North Hills Hospital. He is great and so is his staff, especially Pam, his coordinator, and John his PA.
Everyone just loves them! http://nhhbariatric.com/ |

After much, much research, I chose the best in the business, (my opinion) Dr. Robert Sewell in the southlake area. What makes his practice really stand out was not only his experience, but the after care that was included. Great man, changed my life.
2yrs. 6mos post op.
Starting weight of 430, BMI of 56
Now at my 3 times adjusted goal of 195, BMI of 22
Life is soooo good!

My doctor is Dr. Marsden - office in Hurst. Really nice doctor, listens to you, and answers all questions and more! He's done over 3000 LAP-BAND® procedures, so I felt really comfortable working with him.
Best of luck to you in choosing a doctor!
Tina
