Fill Doctor in Houston



Recommended Posts

Can anyone recommend a fill doctor in Houston? Preferably the 1960/I-45 area or even Humble or The Woodlands would be good.

I had my surgery with Dr. Spiegel but will never go back to him.:speechles

Not to get to personal, but why would you not go back to him, seriously.

Spiegel's fills are done at the Surgicenter, and they are nice folks there. You might not have to see Spiegel...... I go there as Spivak's patient, and like them.

I'm also very interested in your experience with Dr. Spiegel. My husband and I both had a consultation with him last night and we're trying to decide if he's a fit for us. If you don't feel comfortable posting here, you can email me. I'd appreciate your input.

Dustmouse, you might do a search in here for Dr. Spiegel. I'm not real sure, but I believe there was someone that had a MAJOR problem with him or his staff or something. I think he may have been the doctor that has cattle call fills. Run 'em in, fill 'em up, run 'em out kinda thing. If memory serves.....but then again, I'm getting old.......hehehehe

I use the cattle call wording. That's how he runs his business. That in no way means that he isn't the best surgeon. He is. The fills are done at the surgicenter so you really don't need to see him. He was/is a great surgeon, but no real aftercare. I didn't need any extra attention, but if I do he will respond.

Fills at the surgicenter are great. The staff there is very friendly and helpful. You will be asked to follow your doctor's fill instructions. That's it. It's very easy.

Here's is HJTx's post from another thread that explains her problem with Dr. Spiegel.

Beware fellow bandsters with these "gas pains". I too was extremely bloated for days and had pain under my breast, sort of behind my rib which kept getting worse. I kept telling my doctor that it didn't feel like gas at all but he wouldn't listen. It turned into the worst pain I've ever felt in my life. EXCRUCIATING!!!! Turned out to be Post Operative Pleurisy. NINE days in the hospital!!!!!!

:clap2:has anyone used dr spivak for ur surgery?

You'll find a lot of Dr. Spivak's patients here. I'm only 3 weeks post-op, so I haven't had any fills, yet. I really like Dr. Spivak. I had a hard time coming out of the anesthesia, and he came by 3 times to check on me after surgery. One time was around 8:00 p.m., so I'm sure he was foregoing his personal time to check on me. His office staff has been great, too.

Also, I have three doctor friends, and I asked for their recommendation for a lap-band surgeon. Dr. Spivak was their number one choice.

      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.
