I am soooo excited! After a year of back and forth I have a surgery date w/ Dr. Kirshenbaum in Aurora, CO. I have my travel plans set and my consultation Oct. 22!!! I can hardly wait!!! :omg_smile:

Congrats! I am also a patient of Dr. K he is great. Do you know which hospital you will be going to? Are you local? Good luck.

Yes, I am going to Crown Point Surgery Center. I am a long distance patient. I knew from the beginning I would be cash patient. So I considered Mexico... but always felt uneasy... but after finding out about Dr. K on here, and his great cash price... I read amazing things about him, so... here we go!!! I am very excited. When were you banded? Any advise or tips?

I was banded on 7/3 also at Crown Point, the nurses there were great, it is a new facility, and not very far from my house. Dr. Kirshenbaum is fantastic, two days after my surgery (Saturday am) I had a question, called his cell phone and he returned the call almost before I got sat back down. I had a list of questions that I had taken with me to my first appt., he was very informative, patient, and didn't rush thru everything. His staff is also very friendly. Is your consultation and surgery on 10/22? Good luck with your trip and surgery. Let us know how things go.

congrats! Dr. K has his own thread here under "doctors and hospitals", basically we are his "FAN CLUB"! He is the best and you made a great choice. Good luck

No my consult. is Oct. 22. Then I have a pre-op appointment on the 18th of Nov. Then surgery is the 19th! Yay!

I flew long-distance for surgery with Dr K too. He is great and people fly in from all over the US (and Canada) for him. I have never regretted going to him for a second. Good luck!!
