Do a search for Dr. Spivak on this site. There is a whole thread for people that have used him. I did too and I'm in Dallas :smile:

Loved him!!

I had Spivak for my surgery March 3rd, 08 and he is WONDERFUL !

His bedside manner makes you feel safe and his staff is always wanting to help you at a moments notice.

I personally dont think you can go wrong with Spivak.

Good luck on your decision.

Dr. Spivak performed my surgery and I can't say enough good things about him. He and his staff are wonderful. They are very supportive and answer all of my questions. When I call the office with questions they are always answered the same day.

Good luck!

Hi!

I had the best experience pre and post surgery. Dr. Spivak's staff members have been very supportive throughout the entire operation, and have continued to give support even after surgery. They even played a special request song prior to the operation!

PM me if you have any other questions.

Thanks for the PM - I actually had my surgery with Dr. Spivak on 4-4-08, still in the "I hope I know what I did" phase. (lol) Actually, I think it will be okay.

      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.
