What hospital does Dr. Spival use?
justamom replied to ghb1324's topic in Weight Loss Surgeons & Hospitals
I used Dr. Spivak at the Physican's Surgery Center on Main St. - great group of drs. and support staff there. I was banded just 10 days ago. -
Hey Choirgirl I'm new to the forum also - I was banded on the 16th as well. Glad to hear you're doing great. I have head hunger though - I've been cheating on food. Today I had 1/2 a veggie burger (morningstar) and yesterday I had 1/2 slice of bread.

This is all new to me. I am hoping by keeping this journal I will be able to stay on track. I have been banded 10 days now. Basiclly, I feel good. Usally I'm alway on the go but now I get tired very easily - have been needing naps. Incisions are 99% healed and the port area is the only place that's tender. I still get shoulder pains though. I'm able to eat now and that scares me. I am only 10 days and can eat almost normally just less of it. Does this mean soon I will eat more and more and MORE....... Today, I was at a meeting where I ate lasagna, bread and brownie. :think I feel guilty and horribe!

I too told only my hubby and only on his insistence told my kids. They have been great! I have been banded 10 days now - so lets see if my this becomes common knowledge over time. I will warn you that for a week after surgery unless you can 'be out of circulation' you will need a explanation to others as to why you are slow (slower than usual) to walk, can't bend over, have trouble sitting down and getting up. Good Luck with your surgery!
