Anyone have Dr. Peter Fisher in San Antonio



Recommended Posts

I have been researching ps docs and he seems to specialize in bariatric/extreme weight loss patients. I figure I will be self pay, so find one that has this expertise.

Also anyone over 60 planning ps?

Anyone have this doc or know of him?

a lot of people here and on other WLS surgeons have used him. He's very, very well-known in the bariatric community and well-respected to boot!

I should add that I haven't had plastic surgery yet, but if/when I do, he's definitely on my "short list". He's supposedly one of the best in the country.

I am just beginning - wlsurgery is 5 months away, but I am a bit of a research junkie! I like knowing as much as possible about where I am headed. I did the same with batiatric options. My ins doesn't have an in-network surgeon within 60 miles so I asked to be referred to an out-of-network one and they will cover it as soon as I jump through all the program hoops. I could have driven 147mi to in-network one and my PCP said that is where she refers to - but I said NO. I am going to the surgeon I want that is closer, they don't make you take a year to go through the program and they are way more respectful.

      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.
