Anyone know about Dr. Spiegels new associate (Houston, Texas)

Hopes place · July 12, 2006

Hi,

I am getting ready to go in for my 2nd fill and was told that Dr. Spiegel now has an associate that does the fill. This is upsetting to me since part of the reason I chose Dr. Spiegel was because he said he did all the fills, anyway, has anyone been filled by his new associate and was the experience good or bad.

Thanks,

I went for my first fill yesterday with her. It was great. It was at the surgicenter and I like getting them there. I told her I didn't want her to be too agressive. She said OK. She couldn't keep the port from moving so she had the camera wheeled over. She found the port right away and with no pain to me. She filled me and I got up and drank the barium under fluro. She added some more since it ran right through. She would have added even more, but she respected my "don't be too aggressive". It was a great experience for me.

Barbara, Thanks so much for that info....

I am going for my second fill in two weeks. Thanks again.....

How are you doing with your band?

Just starting my 5th week and 1st fill yesterday. I am hungry. I will give it a few days and if still hungry ask for more fill. I need restriction so I can be good. For the most part I am, but not losing. I eat too much of the right things. Too scared to try anything I'm not supposed to.

I was there on the 12th...are you talking about the blonde that did the fills? That was the 1st time she did mine. I wish it had been Dr. Spivak....I had a few questions for him.
