Congratulations on your success! Dr. Spivak has a support group that meets at 7 pm every 1st and 3rd Tuesday of the month at his office at 1200 Binz, Suite 1470. The meetings are open to everyone, not just Spivak patients. We'd love to meet you and hear your story.

City: Houston State: Texas | Hello! New to the Group
Hi! I am a wannabe banded! I'm in the process of waiting for approval from my insurance. I'm working against the clock because if I do get approved in time I want to get banded on 12-28-07 by Dr. Felts. Wish me well!

My progress has been slower than I had expected, but I am still working toward my goal. I have lost 60 lbs in one year :clap2:. I have been really frustrated lately because the holidays made it difficult to keep on tract. I'm back on track now and will hopefully get to my goal weight by April.
