hi

i am in the process of deciding on a doctor for my surgery and would like to know if ayone heard of him. i went to the seminar in the physician-surgi center.

2 previous patients gave the seminar but no doctor.

i thought that was weird. when i investigated this in NY...one of the top lap band surgeon's there gave her own seminar.

anyway any suggestions are greatly appreciated

thanks

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

Actually, he's one of our main doctors performing the Lap-Band in the Houston area now. He has performed LAP-BAND's in Florida until recently. Now he is performing surgeries at the True Results Surgery Center of Houston. It's also where most of our seminars are being held for Houston.

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,

Justin

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).

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
