Hi, Dr. Speigel's Office!!:)



Recommended Posts

I am trying something. I will explain later and it will all make sense. I really didnt think anyone would post too much on it, I REALLY didnt...I thought I would get a lot of PMs, but not posts. I SWEAR it will ALL make sense later...I just needed to post that to see if my hypothesis is correct.

okay So Im finally going to say what has happened...Dr. Spiegel's office staff got on here and found where I had given him a bad recommendation and printed it off. Made me drive allllll the way to Port Neches from Jasper (a long way) when gas prices were nearly 4 dollars a gallon and pay $100 in cash for a fill...then made my friend and I sit in the waiting room for forever and a day...then when I got back there he basically fired me as a patient...he refunded me my fill money, but not the gas money. I saw the date that the article was printed, way before that day, and therefore they should have called me to tell me that he no longer wanted to see me as a patient instead of making me drive that long of way. Anyways, Im soon to have a new doctor as soon as Dr. Spiegel's office actually decides to give this new doctor my information...I hope its soon, Im having really bad complications with my band...its my own fault, but still I need to see this new doctor and make sure that everything is okay. Dr. Spiegel had the audacity to call me unprofessional...newsflash, I can be as lewd and crude as I want, because Im not a professional anything but student....what he did was unprofessional and immature and I DO NOT recommend him to anyone!! Not for just this reason, but for others as well...

he did it illegally is the point. Texas Medical Board says he has to give me advance notice, not make me waste gas. I hope it costed him several patients because he has so many that he cant take care of them all, and maybe had I had a doctor that CARED what was going on and could tell me from other patients then PERHAPS I wouldnt have been so bad off to possibly have screwed up my band. Its still my fault, I made the decision...however, he should have observed my psychosis first and realized that I was acting in manic and depressed behavior.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
