Houston hospital and Dr. Spivak



Recommended Posts

Hello, I am seriously considering the lapband procedure but was wondering if anyone knows which hospital would be better to go to when using Dr. Spivak. He seems to be the choice of most people in the houston area. Thanks for your help. I have so many questions!!!!

I used Dr. Spivak and had my surgery at Park Plaza hospital. Could not have been more pleased with all the staff at the hospital and Dr. Spivak! The surgery went great and his aftercare is wonderful. His office staff is also great and always willing to answer any and all questions you may have.

Good luck!

I had my band done by Dr. Spivak at Park Plaza, also. I had to stay a night at the hospital b/c of blood clot concerns and the staff was wonderful. Couldn't have ask for better care.

He operates at the Surgicenter off Main Street and also Park Plaza Hospital. I was told it depends on which day you have surgery as to where you are. I was at Park Plaza and it was a wonderful experience. You are going to LOVE Dr. S!

      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.
