Surgeon Testimonial

B. Dean McDaniel
I started seeing Dr. McDaniel this past Feb. '09 and although he did not do my lapband surgery I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone who is interested in having weight loss surgery.rnLet me tell you how I came to see Dr. McDaniel...rnIn May 2006, after being a regular member of Curves for 5mos. and starting another of many diets, I had not lost a pound. I was in tears after my latest weigh in at Curves and decided then and there to try the lapband.rnI had seen an ad for Dr. Spiegel in Houston and after attending his free seminar I made an appt. with him and by weeks end, was in surgery. I believe him to be an excellent surgeon, but he leaves you flat when it comes to follow-up. You are pretty much on your own....so, I talked to a family member who had been to Dr. McDaniel in Victoria.rnI had my first appt and really like him as well as his office staff.

 My tummy tuck and breast lift went great and I am feeling super.  My shoulder surgery went well and I just finished my therapy for that, so now I'm getting my arms done.  March 3rd.  Can't wait.

Having Plastic Surgery
on December 20, 2008 3:01 pm
 I just thought I would share my good news....I am having a tummy tuck and breast lift on Jan. 6th. in Victoria, Tx by Dr. B. Burns.   I was supposed to get my arms done instead of the breast lift, but I am having shoulder surgery on Dec. 24th and Dr. Burns said he didn't want to take the chance of damaging the shoulder by pulling on my arm to cut and suture it.  It's okay though, I will do the arms at a later date for sure since I am very self conscious of the skin hanging.

Anyway, I am psyched...can't wait.  Wish me luck!  Joanie :o)

Changed surgeons Again
on September 8, 2008 8:56 am
 Hi everyone!!!

I have been a member of Obesityhelp.com for a while, but am just now writing a blog for my profile.

I had my lapband done in May of 2006 by Dr. Felix Spiegel in Houston, Tx., and although I know he is an excellent surgeon and am very pleased with my lapband surgery,  I didn't feel like I was getting the attention I felt I needed from him after the surgery. 
I have recently changed surgeons and am now seeing Dr. Dean McDaniel in Victoria,Tx.

I really like him.  I cannot say what kind of surgeon he is, except what I've heard from some family members, but I can tell you he is a wonderful, caring man.  He saw me for the first time in Feb 2009 .  I have another appt the end of April. I wish I had gone to him for my lapband surgery, but at least I have found him now and I couldn't be more pleased.  I would recommend him to anyone who wants weight loss surgery.
