Can anybody give me some honest appraisals of Dr. Spiegel in Houston. I'm scheduled to be banded next month. I know Bobalooey had him and had one of his nipples "nicked" during surgery, but other than that he thought highly of Spiegel (Bobalooey, if you are reading this, please come out of hiding and respond). Any other opinions would be appreciated, I'm starting to load my shorts over the thought of having this procedure done and any words of reassurance would help right now.

Hi, I'm scheduled for surgery on nov. 16th so I will be able to tell you more after that. However I know he is experienced, and that is important to me. I hope we both will have a good experience with him. Jury is still out on the office staff. I have not dealt with them enough to make a good judgment. Be prepared to do all the leg work on getting yourself approved on the insurance issue and you won't be dissapointed. Weel good luck on your research.

Dr. Spiegel is an excellent doctor. The only person on his office staff that I have had to deal with directly is Lorena. She's extremely helpful & knowledgeable. Dr. Spiegel banded her, and I think a couple more of his staff.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
