I am 6 months post op and have had the best experience with Dr Carlton. I am so thankful for what he has done for me he changed my life so much! I just took my first plane trip in 30 years without needing an extension seat belt. I’m more active now at 49 years old than I was at 30. I feel great I look better but most importantly I am healthier and on the road to many more special years ahead! I will forever be grateful for Dr Carlton and his whole staff these people are a true blessing!!

Dr.Carlton and the staff at LoneStar Bariatrics are the best! I had gastric sleeve surgery on 2/3/23 and am down over 60 pounds. I’m confident I will reach my goal weight in the next 6 months. I’m getting married in September and want to look great. Dr. Carlton called me the day after surgery to see how I was doing. He followed up 3 days later to check on me. He cares about his patients. Highly recommend you set an appointment if you are serious about losing weight and looking great.

Dr. Carlton, Allison and Kristie are absolutely the best! Not only after my surgery did I get texts to check on my blood sugar I got phone calls to make sure I was ok and feeling well! Excellent place to go!

I saw Dr. Carlton for the first time on 01/11/23. I was a little apprehensive at first to go see a new physician of any type, due to some previous bad experiences etc. I had Dr. Carlton do an EGD on the following Monday 01/16/23. My experience so far with Dr. Carlton has been only positive. I am looking forward to having Dr. Carlton perform a Bariatric Revision surgery in a few weeks, and I anticipate being able to share my success and progress with everyone at that time.
