Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

Recommended Posts

I need some assistance....I am in the VERY beginning stages of looking for a surgeon, I just moved to TX so I dont have any connections here and I would prefer the Dr be in either the San Antonio, TX or Austin, TX area. I would also entertain south Florida area as I have family there. I was sleeved on July 23rd and I am down 111 lbs and my legs tell me daily I will NEVER be able to wear a bathing suit in public EVER again! LOL. I want to wait at least a year to get anything done but want to know what I am in for (especially pricing wise).

Any experience of who to go to (or NOT to go to) is GREATLY appreciated!! THANKS!

His main office is in Corpus Christi but does surgreys in San Antonio as well! He has free seminars every month and goes into detail about everything . The lady's in his office are so helpful

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
