I need a fill Dr. in The Woodlands, TX



Recommended Posts

I was wondering if anyone uses Dr. Wilkenfeld in The Woodlands? I was banded by Dr. Spivak, but my 1 year of free fills is coming up so I'm looking to switch to an office that is closer. (I live in Sterling Ridge) I have verified with their office that they do take transfers but would really like to hear from folks that go to that office for fills about their experience. Are the nurses good? The office staff? Do the nurses do fills or the Drs.? (I'm fine with the nurses doing it) Can you get in and out quickly/easily? Any feedback you can give is greatly appreciated! Or if anyone knows of other Drs. in The Woodlands that take transfer patients I would love to get that info. Perhaps at Memorial Hermann, etc. Thanks much! -Rachel

I am so excited, I was banded by Dr. Spiegel 2 months ago and just found out they are going to put a fill center in The Woodlands - it should be open in about 4 months.

I know my obgyn said 2 or 3 of her nurses have been banded by Dr. Collier? in The Woodlands and they all love him. I don't know anything personally about him, but they were raving over him.

I went to Dr Collier's seminar and really liked him. He has an office in Conroe and Woodlands area. I have not heard of anything bad about Dr Wilkenfield other than one of my husband's coworkers had so much trouble with her band that she had it removed. I have not heard of any problems about the doctor himself.

I was banded 3/25 by Dr. Wilkenfeld, and he has been the greatest and really has a sense of humor. I have had my first fill by them, he only put in .5cc which felt fine by me. They are moving to a new office off of 242 which will be closer to me, right in the same strip center as Charming Charlie, I am so excited for them, they are also getting a fluro machine which will help us newbies, Tina isthe Doc's wife and she is great, she knows everything that is going on, what to expect and what not, they are there to help 24/7, and the people on the inside are great people also. Granted I am new and I go in for my second fill on the 30th, don't know what the outcome will be, but I have no regrets with Dr. Wilkenfeld, as I have heard about the other local doctors and their support/help just isn't there. I think you will be happy to switch.

      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.
