Need support in Port Neches



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone!! I had surgery over a year ago and have lost 85 pounds since my surgery and three fills. I have moved down here and have no one who can support me to keep up the weight loss and can not find a doctor to do another fill here since I had my surgery in Dallas.

I believe Dr. Felix Spiegel has an office near there. He is in Houston, but has an office in Beaumont or Port Arthur. I think Port Neches is near there. There are tons of Doctors in Houston so if you can't find one local you can head our way.

His office stated that since he did not do my surgery that he will not do the fill....need to find a doctor who will not hold the fact that he did not do the surgery to help me.

Dr Schmidt has a office in Port Arthur. I attended his seminar at the Medical Center.

It would certainly be worth it for you to go get your fill from your doctor in Dallas. A road trip. If you are looking for support you can always e-mail one of Dr. Spiegel's nurses. My e-mail is posted on his website. It is very important to have support when you are getting adjusted to the Lap-Band. It's almost like having a diet buddy, I work in his Port Neches office and I have had the band for over a year and have lost 95lbs. I still have 30 to go. I'm so excited.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
