Has anyone used Dr. Spiegel



Recommended Posts

I used Dr Spiegel for my band surgery and for the removal of my band. You may want to move this thread under the Doctors and Hospital Forum instead of under the lap band removal forum. If you need help moving it, I can help you!

Hi, I am so new (7 days) that I don't even know what questions to ask. Sorry.. I just don't know when I am supposed to get a fill. His office said "I will know" but how will I know. I don't like all this gas and I don't want to be really tight but I also am a self pay and can't afford to just keep going back to fill and unfill. I am sorry to sound so stupid but I am confused. Thanks for advice.

Hi, you are right. I am so new I don't even know where to ask questions....sorry.........

why did you have your band removed. How do you get a slippage. Is it easy to get one? Thanks.

I moved it for you. I had my band removed last month after having it for 30 months due to slippage. Throwing up, getting food stuck can cause your band to slip. I would wait 6 weeks and if you are able to eat like before the band then make an appointment to get a fill. I don't think his Port Neches office charges if you get a fill and in the same week get an unfill and you will surely know in a week.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
