Has anyone gone to Dr. Gerald Kirshenbaum?
Dr. Kirshenbaum saved my life. I had health insurance that didn't cover the Lap Band. I had to do something and Dr. K was there! He is an expert at what he does in the OR. I have no doubt in his skills!
His office is very busy and you do have to wait a long time.
I also have sought support and information elsewhere. I think his monthly meetings are great, but it's up to us to seek support. We have a huge support system via Lap Band Talk, "Considering Dr. Kirshenbaum" thread. We meet monthly for support in person. If someone comes from out of state, we try to meet with them. I have personally supported three different out of state patients of Dr. K's. We post daily on the LBT thread and if someone has an issue or problem, we are ready and available to assist.
I would highly recommend Dr. Kirshenbaum. You can't beat his Lap Experience AND you cannot beat his attitude and care. You can call him anytime day or night and he will call you back immediately if his office is closed. I have his private cell. He gave it to me before I had my surgery. He's my biggest cheerleader!
