I am 23 and weigh over 300lbs, and my parents have recently offered to pay for a lapband procedure(which is wonderful cuz hubby and I are poor college students paying off medical bills from his 2 knee surgeries last year). They want to have it done quickly and I am looking at where to get the best price cuz there is no way my insurance would cover WLS. I am looking to know people's experiences with Dr.K and have read several pages of the posts below mine, and am feeling very encouraged. Please tell me about your experiences with Dr.K. I need all the info I can get!!!:scared2:

Hey Lotza! I just realized that you're in SLC, so am I. This is great. We can share our SLC-Denver experiences.

Dr.K did my surgery December 5th, 2007. I was worried about going there from Illinois all by myself, but it was fine. I am also a nurse and was worried about the facilities the surgery would be performed in, but no worries-the surgery center was nicer than the 2 year old hospital I work in! And I second what other people have said-Dr.K's staff is great, they are very responsive to any needs or concerns you may have. I have a local surgeon who does my fills, but I would not hesitate to fly back to see Dr.K if I needed to! (And as a side note, my surgeon here, who is a great surgeon in his own right, is very impressed with the job Dr.K did...)

Dr K is a great choice.
