"Nita 0 Posted August 19, 2005 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

txbldhnds 0 Posted August 22, 2005 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.

Tracie D 0 Posted October 5, 2005 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Alvin Posted October 6, 2005 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. Alvin Texas Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stephanie1972 0 Posted August 29, 2006 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? :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

slctx 0 Posted August 29, 2006 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. Sherri Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
