Dr. Spivak's patients .....

[I'm still here 0]

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........

Why did Dr. S cancel the Christmas party?

[kacee 3]

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).

[Betsyjane 2]

I'm sure sure sure there's a support group in the nirth Dallas area!

[Betsyjane 2]

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?
