Topic: 3rd Annual Patient Reunion...mark your calendar!
Hey Nebraska Friends,
I wanted to let everyone know that the 3rd Annual Patient Reunion is scheduled for Saturday September 19th, 2009 in Lincoln. It will be an all day event starting at 8:30a until 4:00pm. I am really excited about the fact that Katie J from NAWLS will be our keynote speaker and guest. In addition there will be many opportunities to see old friends, make new ones, and picking up a few tools for the WLS tool box. Many of you have attended in the past and I hope you will consider joining us again this year. If you would like to be on the mailing list, send me your address and you will recieve an invitation otherwise further information will be posted here and on the SaintElizabethonline.com website. Hope everyone is doing well. Happy Spring!

Topic: RE: Patients of Dr Holloway/Dr. Quaid please respond
I am also a Holloway bandster...I've met with both him and Dr. Forney and they are both really great surgeons and would highly recommend either of them. I have heard of issues that other people have had with other surgeons and you know, it made me glad that I chose to go through Dr. Holloway to have my band done. I've never once felt any doubts about going to him. I had actually wondered if, for whatever reason that I couldn't get approved by insurance to go through Dr. Holloway's office for the procedur, if I would have a better chance going through another surgeon....but I felt a bit uneasy about this idea because I really and truly wanted Holloway to be my surgeon. Not that there should be any reason to doubt the surgeons elsewhere, just that I felt confident going to Holloway.

Okay...I am rambling....Best of luck to you with your journey!I hope that it goes well for you!

I received a lapband on December 26, 2007, by Dr. McBride.  Love her and her staff....they've done right by me for 1.5 years.  Prayers for a safe surgery, and a successful journey.

Yea Laura!  Hope it doesn't take you too long to get your surgery.  There are times I get discouraged with it...I have trouble eating meat...but I would do it all over again!  Good luck.  Keep us informed.
