Topic: RE: Patients of Dr Holloway/Dr. Quaid please respond
Hi, I had my band 7 yrs. ago with Dr. Holloway. He is wonderful. He follows you closely the first year. He truly cares about his patients. Mona

Topic: Patients of Dr Holloway/Dr. Quaid please respond
Okay, so I've done the paperwork with two surgeons near me. Dr. Quaid from Northern Colorado Surgical Associates in Ft. Collins Colorado and Dr. Holloway from Western Surgical Group in Scottsbluff Nebraska.
I would like to hear from members who have had lapband surgery with one of these doctors so I can get a little more "hands on" experiences to help me chose who to have surgery with. I've read through the reviews online, but I particularly want to talk to people about their experiences.
Thank you in advance!

P.S. Don't worry, you won't be making up my mind for me, I just need more info!

Hi Everyone, You missed a good time at the summit. Chef Dave Fouts was awesome. We learned a lot. His food was wonderful. He had everything done in less than 30 minutes. Chef dave autographed his latest book. The docs did an awesome job with the open forum. There were lots of good questions. Thanks to everyone who came. Mona

Thanks Mike! I'll keep you in my prayers as well! You have had such a rough 5 months!! My goodness! It is so amazing that you have such a positive attitude...I really admire you for that.
Take care...I can't wait to hear that you made it through your DS surgery with flying colors!

Hi Felicia;
I'm doing pretty good; had another little setback. I took a fall about 2 weeks ago and ended up in the hospital for 10 days. I had a rageing infection and my heartrate fell to 35.So they ended up putting in a pacemaker in; I'm back home and feeling much better. Also I am walking more and more each day. Dr, A is going to do my DS the first week in July; so now I have another goal.
Keep up the good work; I'm sure each day will get a little better. Don't worry about the buyers remorse. I think everyone goes through that to some degree. In 6 months this will look like a speck in your rearview mirror. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

Hi Mike!! I'm doing okay...not great yet, but better than last week. I'm having some "buyer's remorse," but have been assured that is perfectly normal and it should soon pass. I am 3 weeks' out today. They are going to keep my feeding tube in for another 3 weeks as I'm having trouble keeping foods and liquids down.
How are YOU? Are you up and walking? It was really nice to meet you.
