Hey there, I am supposed to have surgery with Dr. Wright also. I guess you are banded already? How are you doing? I have my last weight loss visit Monday 9/10/12.

I'm getting pretty nervous. I'd love to hear from someone who had surgery with my doctor. Thanks and take care :) -Kelly

I had surgery on December 11, 2012 with Dr. Wright. He is amazing. Vert professional and I can now barely see my scars. I go in every two weeks for fills until I am in the Green zone. They are very supportive and I never leave feeling like a failure. Great choice in doctors. Good Luck.

I had surgery with Dr.Carcamo and true results on Feb 5th. So far everying is going well, I have lost about 22 pounds since my pre-op diet. I would love to meet some more friends here! I went to support group meeting with TR, but there were only 3 of us there. I was slightly disappointed. I hope everyone else is doing great!

It's the second Wednesday of each month at 6pm. It's off Fredrickburg on datapoint

, I think you're referring to the same location. If you call the office they can put you on the email list so they can send you a reminder.

Hey San Antonio Bandster here! Definately seeking a lap band buddy! Facing major stress relationship and Job related!!! Need to get some support.

So far things are going as advertised, just need to stay with not rushing my meals and smaller bites. I have lost about 45lbs since surgery day March 20th.

Breakfast is my biggest problem. Things never go as planned.

I went with Dr. Wright at True Results San Antonio, He is a very experienced surgeon and the biggest thing is that you get a year of aftercare included (fills and nutrition). I love the staff, they are all very helpful and friendly. Some have even had the lap band surgery too. Also there are patient advocates there that have had the surgery and are great to talk with about any of your concerns. There are support groups as well, I haven't been to one yet....I should though.

TexasJeff went to another Dr, I don't know much about his practice.

Stick around and ask plenty of questions. Keep in mind that any weight loss surgery will be useless unless you beat the food addiction. It is a very real thing.
