Im looking for a good Dr. In San Antonio. I am very new to this, dont know if om going to go through with this or not. I dont even know where to start. Any advice?

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.

Hey! I went through true results. They did everything! You can set up a consultation and they tell you everything you want to know, you get to talk to someone that has had the lap band, and a little book about everything you want to know. They set up all the things I needed for my insurance, like the psych evaluation and stuff. So I defiantly recommend going there. My doctor was Dr. Wright, he's very nice, and good at what he does. He also discovered that I had gallstones and removed my gallbladder.

Yessssss!!! Got approved by my insurance today, meeting up with Dr. Wright on the 19th of November. However, I am excited, nervous, anxious and did I say nervous!? Any questions you all can think of that I need to ask Dr. Wright? I wrote all my questions down, but just wondering if I forgot anything. Ready for my new journey.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
