Need A Good Lap Band Fill Dr In Houston Tx Area



Recommended Posts

I found three Doctors here in Houston. All of them do fills for patiens, no matter where they come from. On Monday I'm going to try one of those. He is near the Medical Center on Herman Ave. If everthing goes well, I'll let you know his name and adress. I do not want to recommend no one unless I tried on myself. Wish me good luck.......

Where in Houston? I found one, but he wants 499.00 for initial consult and 275 for a fill! Would like to find someone that is reasonally priced in Houston, TX.

I am also looking for a LapBand Fill Dr to help me. I do NOT like the one that did my surgery or the staff, I never get to talk to anyone and the times they are open are just not workable when you work yourself. I have only lost 11 pounds since surgery in NOV 5, 2013 been in and out with fills and unfills and I am very discouraged with the band. Everytime I speak to my doctor about this his "tries" to reassures me that everything is going well and give one excuse after another. it cause I am excercising, muscle weights more than fat, could be my medication, I was even told that my metabolism could be why...Regardless I need someone to that is passinate about this and want to see patients successful and not just the next 100.00 fill day. I currently live in Dayton TX and can't find anyone close that takes exsisting patients....

PLEASE HELP!!!

Unfortunately that is a problem. Go to the true results website and look up the Houston number and try them. Also look up Dr. Speigle check spelling. I hear he's really good. Good luck.

I would love current information on fill doctors in the houston/ woodlands/ east texas area! I got banded by dr. Spiegel, but I'm starting anew and want someplace different.

Also, where is dr. Garwood now? What's his current contact info? Is he still doing fills?

Thanks so much for any help and numbers/ addresses!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
