I have been watching for a few weeks and it does not seem that there are any, but I had to check. I am in Victoria but our 2LP surgeons serve CC as well.

Hey Texgirly - I'm from Corpus and while I haven't been banded yet; I'm looking into it. Did you use Citizens? How was your experience and would you recommend them?
Hey Tex!
I'm in Corpus. Dr. Chang did my surgery last November. I've been quite successful so far. I'm on the board a lot of the time. PM me if you have questions or need someone to talk to. You too Melij75!!!

I'm in Corpus Christi, and was banded April 11. Dr. Glenn Griffin did my band, and I've been doing fabulous! He's a wonderful surgeon and very gentle. I'd highly recommend him if anyone needs a good band surgeon. Nice to see other Corpus people here! I just joined the forum, but have been reading for a couple months and have found great support here.
Located in CC, Tx. Surgery scheduled for this coming Friday with Dr. Glenn Griffin. Really excited. Went & purchased everything for my post-diet! Any advise?
You're in excellent hands with Dr. Griffin! I was only surprised by one thing post-op: the pain at the port incision. That port is attached to the largest incision, and the first few days post-op, it really pulls and hurts whenever you move! I had a hysterectomy a few years ago and still had the elastic band from that and wore it to help keep movement of the site to a minimum. I told Dr. Griffin that he should send patients home with a hysterectomy band, regardless of their gender! LOL Otherwise, everything has gone very well with no complications. I look forward to hearing how your surgery goes!
