Attending Seminar in Houston 6/30

[mommira 0]

Well, I have already set up going with Spiegel so that's my plan! I know women who used him and Spivak (maybe two biggest practices in Houston?) both and had good results. Anyhow, I'll be posting a fair bit about my experiences so check back with me. Band date is 7/6/7!:eek:

I wonder if I can ask Spivak's practice about attending their support groups? I am a self-pay and want to make sure to try out all the great aftercare options - including this board.

For me it was pain after eating.. at first I thought it was something stuck in the band but it was lingering, Frequently after eating I would get clammy and lightheaded with this stabbing pain in my diaphragm and it hurt to take a deep breath. The night I ended up in the ER I felt as if I was being stabbbed in the back underneath the shoulder blade running around the right side under my breast, the stabbing came in waves and nothing, no position alieviated the pain and discomfort. I would break out in a sweat and just cry in pain.

Yikes! That sounds awful. Thanks for the information.

Spivak's support gorup is open to anyone.

hi

actually i believe the tuesday night meetings are only for dr spivak's patients. that was a big point they made when we went to the initial seminar.

Odd. Several of Spiegel's patients go to Spivak's support group.....
