This is definitely new. All the top surgeons here, Spiegel, Spivak, St. Laurent, Davis, etc. do their own seminars. I didn't know that the surgicenter did seminars. That's where a lot of us had our surgery, but didn't attend seminars there. I haven't heard of Ken Hollis. I've never seen him mentioned on here.

Why not look in the newspaper and attend one of the seminars by the leading lapband doctors? Review threads on here that discuss Houston doctors. Make an informed decision based on the surgeon.

Good Luck

thanks barbara for your reply.

i like what i see about dr spivak. i also like dr spiegel's reviews on here but his "monster marketing" turns me off. maybe i shouldnt judge him on this but it seems both of those guys get the biggest kudo's

thanks for your help

7515 South Main St. 8th Floor

Green Park One Building

Houston, TX 77030

From what I've heard, he's a great surgeon. Don't trust me though, I'm biased because I work in the marketing department! ;-)

If you want some more info I'd be happy to send it to you!

Best wishes,

josiebies,

I used Dr. Spivak. He does his own siminars and his bedside manner is great. His staff is awesome. The after care and fills are free for one year and so are the support groups on Tuesday nights.

What part of Houston are you in?

I know of someone who had their surgery done by Dr. Hollis at Surgery Center you mentioned. The surgery went well and she is doing fine.

I had Dr Hollis's seminar and it was led by one of his patients the had been banded almost 2 years. She spoke highly of him and pointed him out to us at one point when he came from a procedure to talk to a spouse.

He took the time to look into the room where the seminar was and smile at us in spite of his hurriedness to get to the awaiting spouse. I knew that kind of consideration would go far in my book. I chose him for the procedure and since i was a cash pay, it was done a week later. ITs now beena month and I had my first fill with him today. Everything went great. He answered all my questions and told me i was doing great even though i had only lost 6 pounds so far. I recommentd him.

I had to have my band removed and he was the only one who would touch me as I had my band put onin Mexico. He saw me the same day I called and operated a day later. His bedside manner was great and he explained everything. If I get rebanded he will be my man FOR SURE! I also know some of his other paitents and they are doing great. Good luck to you! He operates off of 1960 and jones rd (Cypress fairbanks medical center).
