New Surgical Center in Hurst

banded&tattooed · 06-30-2005, 02:34 PM

Just thought I'd let anyone looking for a place to be banded know there is a new Specialty Surgical Center of Fort Worth in Hurst off of Precinct Line Rd. Dr. Carter does his bands and fills there now. I heard it advertised on the radio this morning. I went there on Monday for a fill as well. Very nice place.
More info here http://www.carterlapband.com/ Dr. Carter is great!!!!

Hi, Patty! I guess I'll probably see you on the 13th. Vicky at Dr. Marsden's office said if your place wasn't "in network" for me, they would do something so I am not penalized. Do you know what that means?
I've heard great things about your center...how many surgeries (LAP-BAND^®) are done each day? Thanks, Cindy

Hey there Cindy!

Since I am not in the Business Office, I am not the expert in the area of in-network vs out of network. Please call Rhonda here at the office at 817-520-5400 and she can help you.

Please stop me when you come in for your fill so we can chat!!! I look forward to meeting you soon!

Have a wonderful 4th of July!!

I go for a fill today. I had my second fill on June 14 but I don't feel any restriction so I asked Dr. Carter for another fill and he set up the appointment for me at the Surgical Center. I actually went last Monday to get the fill but they wouldn't let me because my blood pressure was way high! 169/110. They said with the swelling I could possible PB and have a stroke. I was disappointed because I really wanted the fill but after thinking about it I am glad they were looking out for my health and not my money! So I scheduled a Dr. appointment for the next day and got some BP medicine and my wife(who is an LVN) took my BP yesterday and it was 113/70! So even though they didn't give me a fill, they helped me get my health in order. :)

Patty.. I live in Hurst and so your center would be very closeby.. what Im wondering is if your center does fills if another dr did the surgery?

Patty, I will be there this Wednesday evening. Even though my Mom did not make it, and pased away last week, my husband says we are going to follow through with this for MY health...so onward we go. I hope to see you then, Cindy
