San Antonio TX Doctors

[Randi 0]

I was self-pay. So, I did a lot of research before I put my money down. I actually went to five different seminars -- two with an Austin surgery group and three with a San Antonio surgery group -- to meet the different surgeons until I found one I was comfortable with.

I chose Dr. Pilcher with New Dimensions (San Antonio Bariatric Surgery - New Dimensions Weight Loss Surgery - Home) because I felt we were a good patient/surgeon fit for the long-term, which was very important to me. Also, the New Dimensions group is designated as a "Center of Excellence" and does the lap-band, vertical gastrectomy, and the gastric bypass. They may do other procedures, but those are the ones I remember from the seminar. Something else I remember from the seminar is that in surgery you actually have two surgeons. I don't know if this is still the case, but it was when I was banded.

Anyway, research everything. The surgery group, the surgeon, the cost of aftercare (especially if you're self-pay), and whether the group provides other services such as Dietician and Behavioral Health support. You definitely don't want to end up with a new surgery group that disappears on you, and then be left to find another surgeon to take you on as a patient -- I have seen posts where many won't, especially if you were banded in Mexico.
