Hello everybody!!
I was finally banded on March 3rd, 2004. After many set backs (since Dec 2002) I am on the other side!! Although I really have not lost much weight, I am ok at the moment. After reading a lot of posts about pre-fill weightloss, it has kinda knocked me out of my depression. I have lost 5 lbs and that is more than I would have, had I not been banded.
My doctor was Hadar Spivak (formally out of Baytown). He just recently moved his practice to Houston on a full time basis. He has done over 600 bands and was one of the physicians who participated in the US Trials. I believed that he may have done some bands in Mexico before the Trials.
Just wanted to say hi and hopefully, we will hear from each other soon.
