Looking for Houston Area Doctor

Hello, I had my lapband surgery about 2 years ago in North Carolina. I believe my band has now slipped and I need to find a good doctor to reajust it. I have been haveing bad acid reflux and was throwing up every night for the past month. I got an unfill yesterday and had a swallow test and it showed that very little was going down. The fill doctor thinks my band has slipped. Since my unfill I have had no acid reflux at night.

Hi Lis,

Dr. Felix Spiegel was my surgeon, he is very experienced (approx 8000 surgeries), he does a lot of revision surgeries too. He has 3 offices, one in the Galleria area, I see him at his Woodlands office.

I also met with Dr. Collier and was very impressed with him again very experienced. He has an office in Conroe, but also works with 'Journey Lite' - I think they have an office in Houston.

I have friends who were banded by Dr. Spivak and love him. You could Google these doctors for addresses etc.

Hope everything goes well for you:smile2:

Dr Spivak is a great Doctor and his staff is really nice. He has a great website Dr. Hagar Spivak. I really like him

Dr Brian Mirza is an wonderful surgeon. He is located in the Galleria area.
