Hi all. Just switched doctors. using dr korn now in boise. anybody else use him? what did you think? going to his seminar on nov. 18th, had to postpone because of gas money issues. Let me know. Haven't met him yet but would appreciate any and all opinions and suggestions.

I use Doctor Korn and so far it's been good. he has a brisk bedside manner but is straightforward. His office staff refers to him as one of the best surgeons. when making an appointment plan on being there for a little longer than the appointment he tends to run late but he does make up for it by spending time answering all questions. he is upfront honest, confident and straightforward.

Dr. Korn is very thorough and very professional.. he is much sought after which is why he is so busy but in my opinion he's more than worth the wait.. He wants you to be successful which is why he requires folks to weigh in 3 months in a row in his office without a gain... I lost 55 lbs prior to surgery by riding my bike and portion control as well as a low fat, low calorie, low carb., low sodium diet and his PA had me sign up for myfitnesspal.com ... a free website that tracks food intake as well as exercise and calculates for you where you will be in 5 weeks if every day were like today, a great incentive tool.. and as Dr. Korn will tell you, the stronger you are before surgery the quicker and easier the recovery... I've never had any pain from this surgery other than constipation due to the anethesia and Protein shakes following the surgery and for people like me who are proned to this problem I highly recommend a stool softener.. I know TMI but you need to know what works and this is what works for me... Dr. Korn had me up walking the day of surgery and the day after surgery I did a total of 25 laps around the floor throughout the day.... Dr. Korn is also the head of the dept. of barriatric surgery in the area as well as a trauma surgeon.. I hope you do well on "your" weight loss journey and God Bless. Jon Oliphant.. Caldwell, Idaho
