San Antonio Texas - Dr Wright



Recommended Posts

Hi Margaret. I'm from Houston but have family in San Antonio. I was told a Dr. Rincon is someone I should talk to. Do you mind telling me how much Dr. Wright charges? I will be self pay and am looking for someone outside of Houston who may be under $15,000.

Hi Redi,

I had my surgery in Monterrey, Mexico by Dr. Roberto Rumbaut. He charges $10,000. He was a great doctor, but because of my work schedule, I have not been able to go back to him for my fills. Thanks to one of our fellow bandsters, I found Dr. Fred Maese in Dallas, TX. He is now charging $10,000 for the lapband surgery and he charges $200 for fills that he does with flouro. Hope this helps.

Best wishes,

Angela

I wanted Dr. Wright and Carcamo to do my Lap Band but my loan fell through and my insurance only pays 50 percent after you jump through all the hoops. I cancelled my first appointment tomorrow at the diagnostic center to get the process rolling. I'm so disappointed. I'm not up the roller coaster ride with the insurance at this time. Best wishes in your journey I loved the center that Dr. Wright uses. Bobbie in Ingram / Kerrville area.

Hi. I was banded by Dr. Carcamo on the 23rd of this month. I have my one week follow up on Tuesday. I will ask then as well, but do you know when the support group meetings are?

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
