2justme 15 Posted October 25, 2012 Dr Hollis did my surgery at True Results on March 2nd of this year. I really liked him and like all the people there. I've never attended one of the monthly support meetings but have always been curious about them and wondered how many people usually showed up. I've always wonder about having the band long term also. I think I've read a lot of stories from people having the band taken out and I've wondered why they would want to have it taken out and they've seemed happy about getting it taken out. It would devastate me if I had to have mine out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AmySays 38 Posted October 26, 2012 I was told that you can attend the support group meetings prior to being banded. I'm going to go to the one next week, I think (IS it next week?). Yes, it's on the 8th floor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
