Hello, I would like to know if anyone is a patient of Dr. Korman in Marina Del Rey. I had a consultation with him and I just wanted to swap experiences

I had a consultation with him in 2009. He was great and I liked his staff too. Unfortunately it turned out that he was no longer on my insurance. I was really bummed. :(

Dr. Korman made me feel very comfortable during the consultation. What did you think of him?

I met with him and I really did like him. I wasnt too happy with the office. If was really shabby. I cant find the right words for it. It was dark in there. when i first walked in i was ready to leave. On top of being nervous i initially wasnt comfortable. i decided to tough it out and meet him. i didnt want to judge a book by its cover.. it was explained to me that the office was part of the hospital and he just worked out of it. So i stayed for the appoinment. He communicates well and was willing to meet me half way with the guidelines that i have. I dont have to "diet" but i do have to attempt to "low carb" it to "condition" my body for the surgery. I also have to do the psych and nutrionist, and a sleep study. when all is said and done im spending about 1500 out of pocket. overall , i am happy that i stayed and met with him. he explained things well, and was too the point. He seemed sincere and supportive. He answered all of my questions with out making me feel as though i was over reacting.

Yes, you are right, the office was dark, poor lighting. And, since I ended up going to 4 different surgeons before I found one that fulfilled BOTH criteria for my insurance: 1) That the doctor was in-network; and 2) the doc was affiliated with a hospital that was in-network - I had a chance to see the good, bad and the not so pretty. LOL I also agree that Dr. Korman was worth the wait.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
