Melissa Lawson (Dr. Dyslin’s nurse): Dr. Dyslin and I have worked together for over 11 years now. When we expanded the practice several years ago to include bariatric surgery, the changes were challenging. However, it became apparent very quickly how rewarding it was assisting and guiding my patients through this life altering process.

Courtney Lampkins (Bariatric Coordinator): Getting patients pre-approved for surgery by their insurance company is not an easy task. It can be a very long and frustrating process for both the practice and the patient. To me, the most rewarding part of my job is the sound of happiness when I call to notify them that the procedure has been approved.

Lisa McGaugh (Assistant Coordinator): I started working with North Texas Weight Loss last winter. This has been a very good learning experience for me, as I have been in the medical field now for almost 25 years and have never worked in this area before.

It’s really a moving experience to see how the surgery has made a change in their lives, whether it be in their health or just their overall attitude and self confidence. It has been a very positive learning experience for me, and I really look forward to learning more and sharing with each new patient who joins our group.
