I had my surgery with Dr. Dana Reiss here in SA, who is going to do yours and when? I have been doing pretty good post op, it can be a challenge and balancing act not to mention new learning experience all at the same time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JCP 619 Posted June 8, 2014 I am in west SA at Westover Hills. Just began this process. Had my first appt with my surgeon on 5/22 and got my pre-surgery instructions. I have most of my clearance appts/procedures scheduled already so am hoping for a Sept surgery date (sleeve), assuming no complications arise. I am really getting excited and think about it all the time. My only concern is I will have no one with me after surgery. I have read that it should not be an issue but it still makes me feel a little vulnerable... But not enough to back out! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dawalsh 919 Posted June 17, 2014 I will be in San Antonio the entire month of July. I will be staying off Thousand Oaks (I think off a street called Perrin Beitel?) the house I'm staying at is on Shallow Water Street. I know it's near an HEB. Anyhow, would love to hear from you folks in SA. Is there a support group nearby. I have no transportation. I believe there is a bus nearby. Please e-mail if there is a support group in that area of SA. Dawalsh2@aol.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ForeverFat? 9 Posted June 23, 2014 I am in San Antonio, TX Dr Seger will be performing my revision from band to RNY - soon I hope tomorrow 6/24/14 is my upper GI endoscopy so he can see the condition of my stomach currently with the dang band. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dr. Seeger is the best! He did my sleeve recently as well as rny for my sister a few years ago. Are you going to be at foundation surgical hospital? It's a green facility and all the staff there is wonderful. Good luck! 1 ForeverFat? reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The upper GI tomorrow will be at an outpatient facility in the medical center. How is your sister doing with the RNY? Can you give me some stats on her?

How is your sister doing with the RNY? Can you give me some stats on her? Thanks I don't know the specifics, but she had it done about 4 years ago and has been at goal for a few years now. She has competed in a bunch of triathlons and is now training for an ironman. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
