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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
