Hi Joe,

Yes, I was in great hands. lol I had the surgery this past Feb. When did you have your surgery? I have lost 80lbs and the staff at Mercy and at the office has been amazing. Do you go to the attend the monthy support groups? If not you should. You should join the thread "Mentors" I have gotten most of my daily support from the people on this thread. They have become like an extended familiy and we have set up weekends throughout the year that we get together and meet at different places throughout the US.

Hi Havent gotten my band yet but so far the experience has been great - Dr. Holover is so nice and the staff is helpful. They are always cordial when answering my zillions of questions!

dr. holover is not as good as you think he openly states he is only interested in making money does not provide adeguate follow up. he is basically a used car sales person for lapbands he is abrasive and not compassionate toward patients. The office staff is rude and unprofessional as soon as you have a problem everyone is nice until then and trust me if you get a lapband you will eventually have some sort of complication these are not meant to stay in for life. The measure of a good dr is how he behaves under pressure or when there is a problem not just when he is trying to sell you a lapband. Dr. is anGRY PERSON WHO ACTUALLY THROUGH A TANTRUM! I was scammed by him too and had to learn the hard way. Dr. has malpractice hx date 4/10/12
