Thanks for the support and replies

Missy,

did Spiegel do your surgery?

Ive never heard of the other doc you mentioned. Good luck on this 5th fill... how long have you been banded? And when was your last fill?

sorry for not responding sooner. things get kinda hectic around here at times

Missy - What size band do you have?

His name is Dr Schmidt and he is in Nederland, I have heard that Dr. Hahn and Dr. Hsu are also doing the lap band now, so you may try them.....Are you in the Nederland area? I am sorry I am just now responding to this!

Never heard of it!

Missy,

We are wondering who did you surgery?

Thanks,

If you want to come to Houston, Dr. Spivak is great. Now I say that and I haven't had my surgery yet, but I have been researching this for years.

Wednesday is my surgery date! Finally!

Someone asked where Nederland is. It's near Beaumont (southeast TX). Back when I was attending Lamar Univ. in Beaumont back in the early 70's, Nederland had a club called The Lighthouse that was quite the place to go. Haven't been there since.

Good luck with finding a good doc.!

Your are right about that, Dr. Spivak is great and has a great bedside manner too! I love him and my band. Going to Houston would be worth it. It is only about 2 hours from Beaumont to Dr. Spivak's office.
