Hi, I had the same problem, the needle initially used was to small. It took Dr Speigel at least 6 tries before he decided to use a larger needle. I thought the 2nd fill would be better and I guess it was since it only took 4 tries this time. What we want do to lose the weight!

No, Dr Spivak is not one of the Doctor's I visited. I have heard of the name before, but that is as far as it goes. The only things I can tell you is to go and compare the two for yourself. What makes others comfortable may not meet your standards. I know at least 5 people who was banded by Dr Spiegel and all of them have nothing but wonderful things to say about him and I have seen first hand the results they are achieving by following his instructions for after care. I have a follow up visit with Spiegel Monday, I will let you know how that goes.

I was banded by Dr. Spiegel on the 31st of August. Prior to that I talked to other surgeons but always came back to Dr Speigel. He has the experience and confidence that I was looking for. His office staff has always been nice to me. I did not see the problems that others have as for as them being rude.

Banded August 31, 2007, in Houston Texas by Dr. Felix Spiegel, MD. Still sore, went to Wal-mart today for about an hour and over did it. I only took off Friday the day of the surgery from work, I am supposed to go back tomorrow but I don't think that will happen. :eek: I am a tired of the liquids already but I am going to keep the coarse because I am tired of being overweight.
