Skinnyagain?

I am considering Lap Band Surgery and live in the Houston Area. I attended a seminar given by Dr. Speigel and had a consult with him as well. I am right on the border for being acandidate but want to do this before my weight gets completely out of control. I will be self pay and have been struggling with Mexico vs. US but have decided to stay int the states has anyone had experience with this Dr Spiegel?

:help: I had my first fill a couple of days ago, my doctor put in 1.6cc's (my band can hold a max of 4cc's) but I feel no restriction at all. I don't fill up quickly and I still get very hungry. Did anyone else experience this problem? Is this normal??

Feb 2, 2006 Dr. Rumbaut Monterrey, Mexico Start Weight: 209 Down 15 lbs

I was banded by Dr. Rumbaut on Feb 2, 2006. I have found a Dr. in Houston that is really great. He does not give you a hard time for having gone to Mexico for your surgery. He requires you to come in for a consult with your operative report the charge for this is $150.00, he likes for you to come to him 2 weeks after your surgery. He will then schedule you for a fill at 6 weeks post op he charges $250.00 per fill. Below is his information: Dr. Matthew St. Laurent 18220 Tomball Parkway, Suite 300 Houston, Texas 77070 281-921-1890 He is located at Woodlands Memorial Hospital. Good Luck!!!

I am also being banded on Feb 2nd, the 1st is my birthday and I can't think of a better b-day present to myself! Let me know how things go for you and I will do the same! Good Luck and Congrats!
