Is there anyone from the Clear Lake, Seabrook, Kemah, League city areas with lap band????

Hi, I'm in Friendswood, so not far from where you asked about.

I used Dr. Spivak in Houston.

Hey, Nita. Yes Freindswood is not far away. I was banded July 28, Dr. Speigel did mine. Have lost 16 pounds so far. I live in Seabrook. Have you had a fill yet?

i am from friendswood too... but i had my surgery done in dallas... it was cheaper!

Hi, nice to know there are several of us close together. Maybe we can form our own little support group:guess I won't drive to park plaza for dr. spivak's, LOL

I have had two fills. My first one at five weeks and my second at nine weeks (yesterday actually) I lost really well in the beginning but haven't done anything in the past month. Hopefully this second fill will get things moving again.

I go for my first fill 8/24. Anything I need to know about that????? an area support group sounds good.

I'm in La porte, near all of you, and I am another Dr. Spivak cheerleader. I was banded on 7/20 and have lost about 20 lbs with no trouble at all. I feel great and my whole demeanor has changed.

I sure could use some new clothes, but hate to buy any when I'm losing. Maybe we should have a clothes exchange!

I would love to get together sometime if anyone else is game! There are a bunch of us and it would be nice to meet the names and faces that are on the web.

I was banded in Monterey on June 9th. Would love to come to a support group or just have lunch with some of you in this area. I use to live in Seabrook so I know the area quite well.

I was banded on 09-07-05 and I am from Santa Fe, TX. I used Dr. Spivak in Houston and absolutely love him! Does anyone know of support groups in the area?

Hi. I live in League City and was banded back in January. Love having the band. Would not change a thing. Dr. Spivak was my doctor too. I love him! I even helped out with his seminars for a little while. He is a great doctor.

Hello Guys/Gals,

I am in Alvin and thinking of having the surgery. I would love to meet someone over coffee for advice and to chat. Anyone up for a get together possibly the weekend of October 15th. I work full time and have a three year old and I am so happy in almost all aspects. I simply am way to fat and have to do this..

Thanks Guys,

Mary R.

Hi. I live in Seabrook. I was just approved for financing today and I am trying to learn as much as I can about the procedures and their successes or challenges. I went to Felix Spiegel's seminar as well as Dr. Hadar Spivak's. If I do the procedure (which I am greatly leaning towards), I will be banded by Dr. Spivak. Where in Seabrook are you? :-)

Yes I Would Be Glad To Talk To You Over Lunch In October. I Live In Pearland And Could Meet You There Or In Alvin Which Ever You Prefer. My Phone # At Work Is 281-485-5556 And My Cell Is 281-813-4121. My Name Is Gaylene. Call Anytime And We Can Set A Time And Place.

Glad to know there are so many in the area. I have not yet attended a seminar but am leaning toward Dr. Spivak. Hoping to gain a little more info from ins. before making appoitment. Don't want to get my hopes up if ins. is not going to cooperate as I am planning to relocate to the Tyler area around Jan. so self pay won't be an option for a while since buying a new house.

Would love to hear more about Dr. Spivak from you.

I'm in the Baytown Area, but I drive to Clear Lake for just about everything. I would love a support group. I am a Spivak patient also. I work full time but could meet in the evening. I've had two fills and I'm hoping to stick with this as long as possible. I have meds I need to take and a tighter fill would complicate it. So far, so good.
