I am very new to this board and I am having my surgery with Dr. Kirshenbaum on Dec. 13, 2007. I have a very high BMI of 62.2 and I am worried about being too big for him to safely band. Has anyone on this board been over 60 BMI and had Dr. Kirshenbaum as your surgeon? Can anyone tell me how he is and what the procedure is as far as the hospital stay, etc.? I would appreciate any feedback.
