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 was told I had to wait one year for my insurance to approve or deniy this surgery . My year is up in June so I'm hoping by the time they look at everything they will just approve me . I've met every thing they asked for so now I'm in the waitng game. It's just starting to hit me that this is all gonna take place, I'm already getting nervous . And I haven't even been approved!! So I am looking for support too .

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
