San Antonio Area Bandsters?

Hi. I'm new to blogging so bare with me. I was banded 9-11-07 (2 weeks ago) by Dr. John Pilcher. I'm still on a liquid diet. I can't believe I've lost 18 pounds!! I went back to work 5 days after surgery and I feel great. Although, I must admit that I do miss "eating", not that I'm hungry because I'm not. I'ts amazing how much eating is emotional and psycological. I'm ready for the challange and blessed that my surgery was covered 100% by my insurance. I'll keep sipping on my soup till next time we chat...

Hi...I just joined the forum today. I was banded on 10/02/07 by Dr. Carcamo. I posted some info on me in the introductions. Tomorrow I start my full liquid diet. I'm in San Antonio, as well of course. :)

I'm from San Antonio (Selma area) and will attend the Free Seminar by True Results on Monday. I am very serious about having the LAP-BAND^® procedure performed; however, want to get as much information as possible. I have read the posts on True Results and am encouraged by them. Has anyone had a bad experience with True Results in San Antonio?

I just got my date, I will get my band on 12/31. Dr. Wright from South Texas Surgeons will do my surgery at NIX. I really like Doctor Weight, he will not go ahead if there are any questions about you. I'm a senior on Medicare and had to go through and number of hoops to get to this point. But I guess I would not had it any other way.

Sweety,
just wondering how everything is going for you since your surgery. I'm having mine next Friday so just wondering what to expect from someone who just recently had theirs. Are you on a liquid diet? Did you take time off work? I'm not sure how long I will be out. I asked for the whole week but was wondering if I would feel better and go back sooner. Sorry for all the questions. Just getting ready and am really excited.

i'm Sorry, That Was A Quote From Racetrackweary. I Actually Had My Surgery 6 Months Ago. I Work At A School, So I Was Already Off For The Summer When I Had My Surgery. I Would Recommend Taking About A Week Off. My Recovery Was Great. Never Had To Take My Pain Meds Or Anything, Just Liquid Tylenol. The Only Thing That Really Bothered Me Was The Left Shoulder Pain, But It Is Tolerable. And Also, Make Sure That You Breath Into The Breathing Aparatus They Give You. Trust Me, It Is A Huge Help. And If You Need To Cough, Make Sure You Push Against A Pillow. I Hope Your Recovery Is A Good One, Which I Am Sure It Will Be. Best Of Luck To You. I Have Lost About 47 Lbs. Now. I Am What I Would Call A "slow Loser". I Am Very Happy With The Results Though. Keep Me Updated On Your Progress. Good Luck!!

I have my first seminar at NE Baptist this Saturday. I haven't see anyone use this hospital but I'll keep looking.

Forgot to add that I live in San Antonio and Dr. Cavazos will be doing my surgery.
