Hi, I'm in Friendswood, so not far from where you asked about.

I used Dr. Spivak in Houston.

Hey, Nita. Yes Freindswood is not far away. I was banded July 28, Dr. Speigel did mine. Have lost 16 pounds so far. I live in Seabrook. Have you had a fill yet?

Hi, nice to know there are several of us close together. Maybe we can form our own little support group:guess I won't drive to park plaza for dr. spivak's, LOL

I have had two fills. My first one at five weeks and my second at nine weeks (yesterday actually) I lost really well in the beginning but haven't done anything in the past month. Hopefully this second fill will get things moving again.

I'm in La porte, near all of you, and I am another Dr. Spivak cheerleader. I was banded on 7/20 and have lost about 20 lbs with no trouble at all. I feel great and my whole demeanor has changed.

I sure could use some new clothes, but hate to buy any when I'm losing. Maybe we should have a clothes exchange!

I would love to get together sometime if anyone else is game! There are a bunch of us and it would be nice to meet the names and faces that are on the web.

I was banded on 09-07-05 and I am from Santa Fe, TX. I used Dr. Spivak in Houston and absolutely love him! Does anyone know of support groups in the area?

Hi. I live in League City and was banded back in January. Love having the band. Would not change a thing. Dr. Spivak was my doctor too. I love him! I even helped out with his seminars for a little while. He is a great doctor.

Hello Guys/Gals,

I am in Alvin and thinking of having the surgery. I would love to meet someone over coffee for advice and to chat. Anyone up for a get together possibly the weekend of October 15th. I work full time and have a three year old and I am so happy in almost all aspects. I simply am way to fat and have to do this..

Thanks Guys,

Mary R.

Hi. I live in Seabrook. I was just approved for financing today and I am trying to learn as much as I can about the procedures and their successes or challenges. I went to Felix Spiegel's seminar as well as Dr. Hadar Spivak's. If I do the procedure (which I am greatly leaning towards), I will be banded by Dr. Spivak. Where in Seabrook are you? :-)

Glad to know there are so many in the area. I have not yet attended a seminar but am leaning toward Dr. Spivak. Hoping to gain a little more info from ins. before making appoitment. Don't want to get my hopes up if ins. is not going to cooperate as I am planning to relocate to the Tyler area around Jan. so self pay won't be an option for a while since buying a new house.

Would love to hear more about Dr. Spivak from you.

      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.
