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.

      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! 😞
