He is probably the best doctor I have ever had. His team is fantastic. When I went to the seminar and heard them speak, I was convinced that day that I was going to have the Lap Band. They have been wonderful and I lost 90 pounds today! They have been there for me since I filled out the paper work saying I was interested. I am frequently e-mailed by half of his team.

If you just google lap band ucsd its the first link.

SD Mom,

I had my initial consult last week, and they called to schedule my surgery for the end of November. Good luck! And be prepared to be there about 4 hours, at least that was how long it was for me and I have no major medical issues except for being obese. Everyone was so nice!

I'm sorry I can't be helpful. I got my surgery for free through a teen study. All I know is ALWAYS plan to be in the waiting room for no less than 45 minutes when you go for appointments.

Hi Hollie,

I just saw you in Dr. Horgan's office on Oct 7th, WOW you look awesome, I recognized your picture.

Everytime I've gone for any appointment, the most I've had to wait is 10 min. I guess I've been lucky so far.

Anyways, I began this entire process on july 7, obtaining my referral to Dr. Horgan from my primary. but had to wait until 08-27 to actually see Dr. Horgan after that my approval from the insurance company took 10 days, and would already have had my surgery, if my employer would had let me take the time off, but due to my employer I had to wait extra time.

At this moment my surgery will be on 10/29, and I am starting my pre-op diet on 10/15. very excited.

anyways, Dr. Horgan and his team have been nothing else but a joy and awesome support team.

Christina

      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.
