Hi,
I wanted to say hello and congradulations to everyone who decided to do that life changing lap band surgery. The lap band has literally "SAVED" my life as well as given me one.
I wanted to share that I was banded by Dr.Hadar Spivak in Houston.I went to his support group or wellness program 2 months ago and found it to be very informative and very welcoming. Everyone who attended the night I was there was so eager to help answer my questions and concerns since I am still new with having my band. I truly felt welcomed, like I was walking into a "friends" home. Wanda the director of the program was so wonderful and "sincere and real" this is so important to me and I really appreciate her for this. She actually stayed later than usual to make sure I was ok and all my questions were answered. She said she had lost a 165 poundson the LAP BAND!! when she showed me her before picture OMG!! I was astounded. She is so beautiful and such a great inspiration to help me and everyone else stay,get and keep on track.
What I liked most about the meeting that night, is she had everyone share a little bit about themself. Then she asked if there were any concerns that anyone needed help with, well of course I raise my hand. She let everyone who wanted to share their thougts on my questions do so and everyone listened to each other, It was just a great meeting. I learned so much that night and I wish I lived closer to attend more often. I am so glad I chose Dr.Spivak for my surgery and I am so glad he has such a "Sincere,Real" lady taking care of his support group patients.
I am planning on going to the August 5th meeting to listen to Marilyn Logan. I had seen her on Dr.Phil show one day, she is great. They also call her the "Money Lady" . I got an email about this night from Wanda and I laughed because of the "Fund Jars" we all have, she listed, the "new clothes" fund jar,the "plastic surgery" fund jar. She will be there August 5th from7-8pm at Dr.Spivaks office www.bandmd.com
I appreciate you all listening and I hope to see you all August 5th.
