Hello Nacol,

I used Dr. Hollis and he is wonderful. I was banded on Sept 20th of this year... so 7 weeks out and I have lost a total of 37 pounds!!!

The support staff is wonderful!

Let me know if you have any questions.

Good to hear you are doing great with the lap band. I have been reading the complications thread and now I am getting scared/nervous/doubting this decision, etc. If all goes as planned, I am supposed to have the surger in early Feb next year. How did you all get past the doubts?

Nacol,

I had my surgery on August 26 of this year and Dr. Hollis performed it. I had no complications and have lost 37 pounds so far. I was very pleased with Dr. Hollis and the entire experience. I got a little apprehensive about the surgery beforehand, but I think that is normal. To help get over the nerves I already had realized that the weight was killing me and if I wanted to live I had to do something. I did not do this to get skinny, I did it to get healthy. I am getting older and no matter what I did the weight would not come off. I took three blood pressure medications a day and one for high cholesterol. I was extremely tired all the time. I have a lot more energy now. My primary doctor has now removed me from one of the blood pressure medications and my cholesterol is low enough now that the doctor thinks I should just try to bring it down more now without the medication. I can not tell you to have the surgery, that is your decision. I can say this was the right choice for me and I would do it again. Dr. Hollis and his staff made me feel comfortable and had a genuine concern for me and my health and recovery. Let me know if you have any questions. Michelle

Dr. Hollis was my surgeon (on October 11th, 2010) and he also did two of my friends' banding. I have to say I highly recommend him. Dr. Hollis is great about actually listening to you and answering your questions. Even my mother liked him and she's very hard to please. I have had a wonderful experience. Don't worry about the fears. I got nervous just before my surgery, but 46 days out I can still say I am pleased to have made the decision. I've lost 22 pounds and I'm feeling great.

I am using Dr. Hollis too. I meet him for the first time tomorrow at my pre-op appointment. Everything I have read about him has been good.

I used Dr. Hollis. I had my surgey in February of this year. My bestfriend used him last November (2009). He comes highly recommended. The only downside is his assistant. She is unfriendly...pretty much rude, most of the time from my experience. Oh yeah, and there was a 400 dollar charge that went directly to her since she is not a network doctor with most insurances. I was not informed about that until after I paid my bill/copayment and later received a bill from Hermann. When I realized the doctor's office overcharged me, I tried to receive my refund so that I could pay the hospital. This is when I found out that the money went to her for her services.Other than that, I absolutely love Dr. Hollis and the rest of his staff....and of course True Results!

I used Dr. Hollis as well. I was banded August 11, 2010. Pre-op, Surgery and Post-op was wonderful. I'm down from 387 to 269. However, I haven't had the good fortune some of you have with his support staff. I've had one problem after another with them. Seems to me they were quick to cater to your every need before the surgery; since then, you can't pay someone from that office to return a call or answer a question without sending you to VM. Just my 2cents.....

The same thing has happened to me. I'm working on it now.

• My original surgeon was Dr. Spivak. I don't much care for the drs at TLC. Can anyone recommend a doctor in the Clear Lake/ Scardsdale/Pasadena area?
