Dr. Spivak is who I am considering having the operation with. How is it going? Was it difficult after your surgery? What were your initial experiences right after your surgery?

Yup - I like her a lot - she's forthright and totally down to earth - doesn't beat around the bush and talks to you like you have a brain and are NOT a collection of ailments...her having the band is obviously a major plus, but I like that she's a normal human being and not some 'god-like' doctor on a power trip.:rolleyes:

You are about my weight. I am 200. How has your experience been on the lapband?

My experience has been pretty positive so far...I had my first fill 10/6, and I can't eat much, but I am losing, so am liking that...

I just saw your posts today and was surprised to see that a doctor in Baytown is doing fills. I had my surgery by Dr. Spivak in March. My weight loss has really slowed and I know I need a fill, but Spivak's office only does them before 1:00 p.m. daily and I need an afternoon appointment because of work. Does Dr. Hewitt use the x-ray machine when she does the fills? I have 1.8cc in a 4cc band and I have lost 52 pounds so far. I started out in a tight size 22 and now in a size 16, but I think I'm ready to go down a little more.

Thanks. I guess I'll give her office a call next week. I need the fluro because of a medication I have to be able to swallow so I can't allow my fill to become too tight for it to get through. Thanks again for the info.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
