Dr. Charles Callery - Dr. Callery did my surgery



Recommended Posts

Dr. Callery did my surgery 2-15-2008. I think he did a fantastic job and is a very competent, caring, and compassionate physician.

I have posted many of my experiences in other forums.

Hi Denise,

I am considering the Lap Band surgery. I live in San Diego and I am researching Doctors. Are you still happy with your doctor? You mentioned that you have reported in other blogs/forums. Which ones?

Thanks

Hello Zepol,

Yes, I am still very pleased with Dr. Callery. I just saw him for a fill a few weeks ago.

Dr. Callery's office has a forum at thinnertimes.com I may have posted there. Most of my posts are here at lapbandtalk. I think there is a way to search my posts.

As a note about Dr. Callery, my post-op nurse told me she has worked with him many times and feels he is one of the most caring doctor she has worked with, and also one of her personal favorites. She told me that if I have problems and need to call his office to not hesitate and that I would hear from him personally.

Fortunately, I did not have any problems post-op, but I did have a problem with a fill once. I called the office, and Dr. Callery called me back within 15 minutes. They saw me about an hour later to remove some of the fill.

I am happy to answer questions about my experience (the good and the bad), and if you decide to go to one of Dr. Callery's seminars let me know if you'd like me to attend.

Best of luck in your journey!

Denise

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
