Hello Everyone!

I am a new member and am very excited since I was FINALLY approved for my surgery!! I am schedule for this Monday, March 30th 2009 and I am both excited and nervous for my new beginning.:w00t:

I am in Houston, Texas and my surgeon is Dr. Felix Spiegel. I have heard only great things about this man and I am positive he will do an awesome job....but still the whole surgery thing is a little hard for me to swallow since it is my first one.:tongue_smilie:

I would like to hear as much feedback as possible from others who have had him as a surgeon, as well as any others that would like to give me an insight to the whole life after the lapband!!! I have read up on the foods you can eat and can't eat...but everyone seems to be different. So please...I welcome any feedback.:ohmy:

Congratulations!!!!:thumbup:I have been banded for 4 1/2 months now and I would not change this for anything. The band is the best tool that I could have given to myself. I feel that my Dr is an Angel for helping people with weight problems and now he is part of my family. You will have many follow-up appointments and since you feel comfertable with your Dr don't hesitate to ask all the questions you have. Good luck Monday and let us know how things are doing:thumbup:
