Recommended Posts

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

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
