Sure, the special was $11,500. Regular price $15k to $25k depending on your case.

I put a deposit down for the LBL (he had a special last month), and to get the reduced rate it has to be done by May 31, so before then. Sooner rather than later would be great just for personal travel reasons, but I'll take what he has. I have my second consultation with him on Wednesday (last one was 5 years ago, so I need to do it again) and will try to book a date. Scary, but exciting.
I'm soaking in everyone's questions and answers about it, so thanks for asking yours!
Yes I was there. I have been to the last 2. I did not meet with Dr Katzen but have heard great things about him.
You have to be comfortable with your Plastic Surgeon and it seems as though we both have been blessed.
When are you looking to schedule?

Were you at the conference in October? I probably walked past you! I'm using Dr. Katzen. I saw both of them on the panel there. Both impressed me. I had met with Dr. Katzen several years ago after my last pre-wls weight loss attempt and liked him a lot.

Thanks so much for sharing! I'm planning to stay as long as I can at the recovery place since I don't have the husband or mom to help me. It's the relying on others part I'm having the most trouble planning for.
Dr Carmina Cardenas in Tijuana, MX. I met her at the OH conference and she is great. Really looking forward to it.
Where are you looking?

How exciting! Where are you having it done? I'm waiting on scheduling for mine so have no advice on that end.
I'm currently day 2 post op LBL. Here's what I've needed so far:
Support person(s) - literally can't get up without help and helps with getting you to the washroom and shower.
Non stick guaze of all different sizes - I underestimated how much I'd need this and hubby's doing another drug store run today.
Recliner
lots of pillows for propping
grabber/reacher thing or long tongs. Even to reach pain meds on the table beside you can be a challenge
lots of water
wet wipes to clean up leaks/etc
Seat in the washroom if you are going to shower soon after surgery. I just used a plasti****a desk chair and it worked well just to sit and have a break if needed
Good luck! So far for me it's been better than expected
