Opinions on Felix spiegel in Houston for sleeve



Recommended Posts

I need opinions on Felix spiegel. Has anyone been sleeved by him? I have read several reviews on his bed side manner and lap band but I'm concerned about how accurate he is as a surgeon as my surgery is scheduled with him on Jan 31 and I am considering canceling because of so many bad reviews about the lapband has ANYONE had the sleeve done by him

I had the lapband with him.. . When I had the lapband, I told him that I don't feel full..was their something wrong with my lapband , I asked. He said go see a psychiatrist. I probably needed more fill. I would never have entertained him with the sleeve. I went instead to a highly reputable dr. In the Houston med center.

Also his office staff is less than desirable. Always had billing issues. Not a professional office as the med center. I think where he conducts his surgery is not a center of excellence. Check this out though.

      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.
