I had surgery with Woodman on 11/26/08. Just wondering if any one would like to share their experience. I feel like he expects above average weight loss and is very reserved with fills. I have yet to feel any restriction. Anyone out there learn how to get around his bedside manner?:tongue:

Hi,

I had my band placed by Dr. Woodman in March of last year and I feel the same way about him that you do. The only way I know to get around his bedside manner is to do what I did- change doctors! Seriously, I know that sounds drastic, but I paid out of pocket nearly 20K for this surgery and I do not have to be treated that way. He wouldn't even tell me what size band he put in me, much less fill amounts. He is just an uncaring person, I think. After my 6 week post-op visit with him, I decided to move on. I've been seeing Dr. McGrath-Weaver since last July and she is wonderful!

HTH!
