Gastric Banding Woodlands

To my Woodlands neighbors who feel they are overweight,
What would you give to be rid of the excessive weight that keeps you
down? What would it be worth to have more energy for your family,
your career, your life? What would it be worth to lose the excess weight
and the excess emotional baggage that goes with it?
It can be done. Make no mistake about that. You are reading this right
now because you know this.

 

Factors Contributing To Unhealthy Weight

Your weight and your health are results of many things: your genes, your lifestyle, and even society plays a part. This is because you are shaped in part by the genetic material provided by your parents, and in part by the physical and social environment in which you live. Your body is evolutionary. It is self-organizing and able to repair itself. This is why taking action to help it get back to a more healthy weight is so important. Just by taking a small action to help your body understand what your goal is, you can start the recovery process immediately.

Why This Medical Doctor Recommends Gastric Banding

As a medical doctor, the main reason I recommend a gastric banding procedure to aid in weight loss is because it allows a more natural process for your body. You did not become overweight in a day. It was a process. The gastric banding procedure allows your body to lose weight at a moderate and healthy pace. No trauma. No dramatic changes that can cause long-term problems for your body.

The premise behind the gastric banding procedure is basically to re-educate your stomach and your body on how much it needs to eat. A band is placed around the entry to the stomach which creates a small pouch at the top. This pouch is quickly filled each time you eat and it allows food to be released from the top of your stomach to the bottom in a slow manner. Because the top of the stomach fills quickly, it notifies your body that “it is full.” As you now fell full much quicker
than before, you eat less and begin to lose weight at a normal and healthy pace. To find out even more about gastric banding and the LAP-BAND® procedure, click here.

Richard S. Wilkenfeld MD received training
from several experts, but none more
talented and well known than Houston’s
own Dr. Michael E. DeBakey at Baylor
College of Medicine.

“My training in cardio-vascular surgery
under Dr. DeBakey gave me skills that I
would later use to perfect my laparoscopic
and gastric banding procedures.” — Dr.
Wilkenfeld

I love The Woodlands. It’s fun to see happy,
healthy people and I’m proud to be part of

one of the first and most experienced
laparoscopic surgeons in Texas and I’m
here to help and encourage you to take the
next step in controlling your life and your
future. Being overweight is not healthy for
you. It slowly takes your life away. Let me
help you get your life back. Call me today at
936-441-3133.

 
Overweight Surgery Woodlands
 
Meredith’s Story
Meredith lost 80 pounds and says, “Some patients never see their doctors after surgery! I love that I meet with Dr. Wilkenfeld once a month, just to check in. My only regret is that I didn’t do this sooner. I would do it all again in a heartbeat. The Lap-Band® surgery and Dr. Wilkenfeld have given me a chance to enjoy my life.”
