PS Surgeons in Houston?



Recommended Posts

Any folks out there have names of some good plastic surgeons in Houston? I have heard of Dr. Heller. He comes to talk to my surgeon's support group about plastic surgery. Anyone familiar with him or have others who are good at post-wls PS?

How did you find him? I'm gonna be game for Lipo on my thighs and a neck lift, at the bare minimum.

Don't you just LOVE Spivak? He's a cutie!

I found him through a co-worker. His number is 713-271-9000.If you think Dr. Spivak is cute then you'll love this man. I have gone down 4 pants sizes since June 19, 2007. To be honest, I wish I had done the comestic procedure and forgot about the lapband because I had better results with the ps. Good luck with your journey!! YOu will be very pleased and glad that you picked him as your ps.

2 different doctors where I work recommend Bonnie Baldwin; Spivak's nurses state they've seen people who have had Heller do work and were impressed

      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.
