"I am happy to announce that DR KHALILI has done the NATION'S FIRST ZEUS ROBOTICS SYSTEM-ASSISTED GASTRIC BYPASS SURGERY!!!!! Congratulations to Dr Khalili. He did it on 10-8-02 at Cedars Sinai Hospital. The patient, Kim Kishi, was the lucky lady to have it ever done!! She had it on a Friday and went back to work on a Monday. WOW.

I finally had my consult with Dr Khalili on 7/19/02, and it went wonderful. I meet all the criteria. Dr was wonderful, he answered all my and my husbands questions. We were not pressed for time. I was just a babbling idiot, I was so nervous and excited at the same time. The office staff was very kind, and Cedars Sinai was just caring, and kind. Just one more holiday of food. The after care is mandatory, 12 weeks of nutrition classes, and 9 months support group. So far all is well, just waiting for my approval, which I am sure will happen without a problem. Till then, I just day dream of what is to come. OH, I will be having the RNY.
Approved and scheduled. Thank you Elaine, your marvelous!"
"A wonderful intelligent, kind, and friendly person. She makes sure all your needs are met, and follows up with you. I have paged her in the middle of the night and she returned my call within 5 minutes, and was very kind. She works with you on all your medical needs. You couldn't ask for a better Doctor. Her employees don't work for her, "they work with her", very grounded person."
