:faint: :faint: :faint: One time I took a bit of a vienna sausage type thing from my 4 year old, who just wanted to share with Mommy, and than I felt a little stuck but thought I could drive home. Oh my I was stuck real bad 1/2 home, in my car, in the heat, with my 4 year old in the back seat.:guess When I came to a red light , I pulled over into the left turn lane, I grabbed an old coke cup my teenager left behind and thought it would never stop.:opps2: After that I keep a big 16 to 32 oz coke cup in my car. I have my teen pick up two when he gets his drinks at the gas station. You never know when it will get bad and I do not want it every where. Tanya 231/195/130 (Someday but stuck in limbo now)

I want to put my foot in this. Why not to use Speigel::bandit 1. He charges for fills. Most surgeons give you the fills free for the 1st year if you are self pay. 2. If you get an infection in one of your incisions, he acts like you are going to take him to court and tries to convince you that you caused it. 3. He is not forth comming with info either. He would not tell me what size band I had or if it was partially filled when he put it in. Important to understanding why I could not eat and apparently is part of his practice. 4. If you decide you need someone else to do your aftercare, good luck because changing from him to someone else is a real begging job. The other doctors are super loyal to him. Mostly because he does so many and has the money. I suspect he opened the Surgery Center and is Chairman on the board. :tired I suggest Dr. Matthew St. Laurent. He is good and treats all patients like royalty. He believes in good after care. Spivak would not even consider me and I had an infection that made the lower half of my left breast rock solid. St. Laurent went against Speigel, I suspect because he is also friends with my GP, and saved me. :clap2: I have a higher price to pay for my fills but if I had just gone to him to begin with my fills would be free for the year. This is how it goes, right? :phanvan Please listen to everyone and think twice. Tanya
