Dr. Katzen

I see a ton of positive testimonials and went to his seminar today. I'm actually feeling pretty good about him. Is there anything I should know from other patients? I've lost 280lbs and had my lbl with Dr. Aly in 7/07 but my fiancee is not comfortable with me going back to Iowa and I admit, I'm not fond of the new office staff at ICPS (though I very much like Dr. Aly and Dr. Cramm). Dr. Katzen is 5 hours from me, so it would be driveable. 

If anyone has any tips for out of towners, they would be appreciated as far as places you've stayed that are reasonable and yet close. I'd be able to have the work done at the surgery center, thankfully, and my fiancee is a nurse, so that helps too.

I'm going for a lateral thigh lift and mons along with a revision of my abdomen. His prices actually seemed fairly reasonable, I was very scared considering he's from Beverly Hills.

All and any info would be appreciated including links to any old posts. I wish I could do a message search, but if it's possible I haven't figured that out yet, lol.

Thanks,

Dr. Katzen is my PS.  He did my LBL, BL/BA, Brachio, and will be doing my MTL in June.  I heart him.  He is very kind and has tremendous skill.  Are you able to stay at Shanteque?  I stayed there for 2 nights after my LBL and was very well taken care of.  Also, I loved the anesthesiologist I had.  I can give you his name if you are interested in requesting him.  At any rate, I have never had doubts about the care I have received from Dr. Katzen, and my results have been fantastic. 

Good luck!
