Dr. Spivak's patients .....



Recommended Posts

I had the same thing happen after one of my fills, and did go in for a slight unfill, which helped tremendously. Like you, I was having trouble even getting liquids down and that can lead to big problems that we don't need.

I say call Dr. Spivak's office and talk to either Brenda or Leslie and see what they say. My guess is that they'll have you come in.

Good Luck!

Well, I went to have my first fill today and didn't get one.....for one, the nurse she couldn't find the port entry and I had it with the feeling around with that needle....then she said I had scar tissue. UGH..so after we went through what I was eating and the fact that i"d lost 15.5 lbs she and Dr. Spivak said I didnt need a fill, but I could come back if my appetite changed or to try again.....I'm kinda sad i didn't get a fill........

Yes. Apparently they had 55 rsvp's and did not consider that enough or something. We had a Christmas get together at the office on Tuesday during meeting and about 25-30 folks showed up. It was nice.

And Betsy...happy Bandiversary!!!

I love Dr Spivak but I really wish I lived closer or had chosen a dr close to me. I really would like to go to the support groups and stuff ;) Ah well ... I guess after my "free" year is up, I'll find someone local so I don't have to keep trekking down to Houston - that drive is a killer! (I'm North of Dallas).

Thanks for the update on the party. I hope Dr Spivak knows that it's not personal. For me, I just don't want to buy a fancy dress until I stop changing sizes!

Hey ~

I went in for a fill yesterday and was surprised to find out that Patricia is no longer working for Dr. Spivak . . . I was there last week and she was there, everything seemed fine . . .

Anybody know what happened ??? I am just curious because she was always so sweet to me.

Hey guys,

It's getting close to the end of the year. I was wondering if any of you claimed the cost of your surgery on your taxes last year and if you were successful in getting some money back?

      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.
