|  CALLING ALL TEXANS!! (in the Houston area) | |
I think I will be relocating to the League City area. I already have gone on the internet finding information but would like some feedback from someone who lives or has visited the area.
Specifically:
Schools
Crime
Locals
History
Businesses
Proximity to the Bay/Gulf
How "nice" is the area? (ie is it more upscale, middle of the road, or downhill?)
Any information you can give me is greatly appreciated!
and most importantly.... band docs in the area?? accept Mexico patients?
Thanks in advance!!!

I sent you an email, but maybe you didn't get it...? My son is the Asst. Police Chief at League City, and his wife is a school teacher. Very nice upsale city, with lots of shopping, and 30 min, from Galveston Beach. Traffic is hectic as in most larger cities. But, all in all, you will love it.
As far as LAP-BAND®...I am using Dr. Spivak... www.bandmd.com
He comes highly recommended, and several on the Forum have used him. Very compassionate person, and staff is awesome.
Feel free to ask any questions about the area....
Lu Ann

I think you will love League City. It has really grown in the past 15 years from a blue collar suburb of Houston to a town on its own with an upscale image connected to the many marinas there. It still has a small town feel to it but is well-situated in relation to shopping, tourism, recreation, and the world famous medical center (hopefully you will only need it for your fills). It is hot and HUMID! Good thing it is close to the bay and the gulf--great breezes there.
Houston is huge, as mentioned in another reply, but you can get to most everything within 40 minutes from League City unless you hit rush hour.
I live in a neighboring small town, La Porte, where I am a teacher.
Dr. Spivak is, IMO, the best. That being said, I am still waiting for my surgery. I have "shopped around" for several years and he will be doing my surgery this summer.
So c'mon over to Texas, like some of us say, "I wasn't born in Texas, but I got here as soon as I could."

I also had my banding in TJ Mexico and live in the Houston area. It is my understanding that Dr. Spivak does NOT do fills if your surgery was in Mexico. Is this correct or does anyone know for sure. I am not due for my first fill for another 3 weeks.
Please let us know!...........
