I live in Humble, just off 1960 E. I think there are quite a few of us. I am waiting for my insurance approval and going to Dr. Spiegel. I might find another Doctor if United Health doesn't cover his facility. I see there is a doctor using Methodist at Willowbrook. They are covered by my policy.

Hope to meet all of you soon. Company coming tomorrow night or I would be at the Woodland's location for their meeting.

thanks, i haven't the surgery yet i am going to the doctor for the consultation on 03-27-06 with dr. kaspar. I almost cancelled after i read all the papers as to all the complications but i will go ahead and go. Hope you can give some some info on what to expect. Has anyone used dr kaspar before? looking forward to hearing from you. jackie

Yes. Dr. Kasper just did my lapband surgery on 3/21...he is such a nice man and came to my hospital room after my surgery to talk to me...he talked to me and my son for about 30 minutes and allowed me to ask as many questions as I wanted. He also encouraged me to go home that evening which I did. I am going to work tomorrow! Email me if you have any other questions. Robin in Sugarland, Texas. r3k131@aol.com

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
