Dr. Spivak did my surgery in August. He and his staff were very helpful and experienced. I had mine done at Park Plaza Medical Center; I came home the same day. It's been a good experience. Let me know if there are other questions I can answer.

Dr. Spivak is wonderul and his staff is extremely helpful. They have always answered my questions the same day. I had a question regarding my insurance and they called the insurance company immediately and I had an answer within the hour. Dr. Spivak answers all questions and then gave me additional information that he felt I needed to know. He was great the day of surgery. He made me feel very comfortable.

I highly recommend him.

Spivak is awesome. I wouldn't go to anyone else in Houston. He and his staff are always available for you 100%. No problem getting fill appointments either....a big plus!

Dr. Spivak is the most experienced doctor in Texas. He has performed hundreds upon hundreds of bariatric surgeries in the Houston area. Dr. Hadar Spivak also is one of the spoke persons for the "Lap Band" and trains other doctors as to how to perform this surgery. He has been highly recommended by every person I know who has had bariatric surgery. He and his staff care very much for their patients. 2 years ago I went to one of his seminars and he actually remembered my face. Now I can say that being one of Dr. Spivak's patients, I am personally glad to recommend him!

      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.
