Looking for Dr Spivak's Patients



Recommended Posts

That is where the conflicting information comes in--his literature and website say 24-48 hours, but the booklet I got after surgery and the nurse told me 2 weeks. But, I do not think I can do the two weeks. I can't sleep tonight because I am so hungry. I just got up and drank some milk (which I dispise) blech.

I was hungry after the first week day and night until I got on solids and had my first fill at 4 weeks post op. Since then I have had no hunger at all. The head hunger is getting better too.

I can't believe Dr. Spivak moved . . . I had an issue and went to see the docs who took over his patients in early July, and honestly was not impressed at all. Dr. Spivak's shoes will be hard to fill.

I am wondering if any of you have seen the new docs, or if you are going to go somewhere else for your lap-band care / issues??

I miss Dr Spivak so much. Which Doctor did you see Yu or Scrabrough? I am seeing Dr Terry Scrabrough as they told me he will fill me with Omnipaque which is what Dr Spivak put in my Band since the begining. I go on the 22 of Sept. Dr Yu will not. I will let you know how it goes

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
