Anyone in here from SA? Just wanna see if there's any locals on here!

Hi. I'm from the San Antonio area and had my individual evaluation on May 14th. Dr. Carcamo will be my surgeon as well. I am scheduled to see the nutritionist on June 10th.

Good job! Yeah I still need to schedule with the nutritionalist. I have my psych evaluation and my lab work tomorrow. Good luck on your appointment!

HI! I live in San Antonio. I am currently going through the appeals process. I will have my surgery with Dr. Carcamo. Which doctor do you plan on using?

I'm going to be having my surgery with Dr. Carcamo. I can't wait!

I just started my two-week Atkins diet on Wednesday. I have absolutely no energy right now, hopefully it gets better soon. As of right now I will be having my surgery on June 25th with Dr. Carcamo. They said it was a tentative date so I hope nothing changes. Best of luck Drew05 and GinaJ.

Thanks Jeanette. Please let me know how you do on your preop diet, and also after you have your surgery. Congratulations on your surgery!

Hey Drew and Gina,

I was banded this morning!:thumbup: I was told to be there at 6:30 a.m. and that my surgery would probably be around 9:00 or 9:30. I think someone may have cancelled today though because I was in the OR by 8:00. I was walking out the doors there a little after 11:00 and was home by 12:30. My DH is great and is taking great care of me. So is my mom. Everything went great. I am hardly in any pain:thumbup: and I hope it stays that way. Just some gas pains in my chest and in my left shoulder. I was happy to see that I lost 10 pounds on my pre-op diet. Well, I'm off to bed. Just wanted to update you. Hope all is well with you!

Jeanette

Hey there merry San Antonian Bandsters:),

I wish your success with your upcoming surgeries and luck with the band. This is a great site. I use it when I need encouragement...which right now happens to be everyday.

I was banded by Dr. Stegemann through New Dimensions Weight Loss.
