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?

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'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? :-)

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 have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
