His name is Dr Schmidt and he is in Nederland, I have heard that Dr. Hahn and Dr. Hsu are also doing the lap band now, so you may try them.....Are you in the Nederland area? I am sorry I am just now responding to this!

If you want to come to Houston, Dr. Spivak is great. Now I say that and I haven't had my surgery yet, but I have been researching this for years.

Wednesday is my surgery date! Finally!

Someone asked where Nederland is. It's near Beaumont (southeast TX). Back when I was attending Lamar Univ. in Beaumont back in the early 70's, Nederland had a club called The Lighthouse that was quite the place to go. Haven't been there since.

Good luck with finding a good doc.!

Your are right about that, Dr. Spivak is great and has a great bedside manner too! I love him and my band. Going to Houston would be worth it. It is only about 2 hours from Beaumont to Dr. Spivak's office.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
