I live in Humble, just off 1960 E. I think there are quite a few of us. I am waiting for my insurance approval and going to Dr. Spiegel. I might find another Doctor if United Health doesn't cover his facility. I see there is a doctor using Methodist at Willowbrook. They are covered by my policy.

Hope to meet all of you soon. Company coming tomorrow night or I would be at the Woodland's location for their meeting.

thanks, i haven't the surgery yet i am going to the doctor for the consultation on 03-27-06 with dr. kaspar. I almost cancelled after i read all the papers as to all the complications but i will go ahead and go. Hope you can give some some info on what to expect. Has anyone used dr kaspar before? looking forward to hearing from you. jackie

Yes. Dr. Kasper just did my lapband surgery on 3/21...he is such a nice man and came to my hospital room after my surgery to talk to me...he talked to me and my son for about 30 minutes and allowed me to ask as many questions as I wanted. He also encouraged me to go home that evening which I did. I am going to work tomorrow! Email me if you have any other questions. Robin in Sugarland, Texas. r3k131@aol.com
