Any banders from Austin, Texas



Recommended Posts

Hello, I am new to this forum and was interested to meet any one from Austin that has been banded. I have been to Dr. Ganta's seminar and was considering him as my surgen, but was looking for some fellow banders who have use him and wanted their experience.

Thanks in advance for all your input.

hey!

I'm from Austin too, but haven't been banded yet. I am waiting for the phone call to let me know when my first intro appt is. I got a feeling I will be consulted by Dr. Fass. He's one of the best in Texas I heard.

Good luck on everything! :)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
