So happy for you! Did you have any health issues prior to the surgery? And how many pounds total was removed?
I was experiencing pain in the legs, arm, and lower back pain. Dr. Katzen removed 6 pounds....
Thank you for sharing. How long did you have to stay in Cali? And did you stay in a hotel or an Airbnb? Do you have before pictures?
I had an Airbnb for 2 weeks and went to my pre op appointment and they recommended me to stay another week so then I rented a room. I would suggest if u plan on going to Cali to be prepared to stay there for at least a full month
Hi I’m happy you’re doing great! Do you have whatsapp or telegram, I have a consultation with him today
I don't have, sorry
I am so nervous. Dr Katzen will be removing mine this March 2022. Please email me at lashqueen35@gmail.com

I just need someone to talk to please.
Hi, how long did it take for Dr. Katzen to give you a surgery day? Are you getting the open procedure? How much is he charging you? I just got my MRI done and I'm waiting for the results to forward to him for a second consultation? I'm in constant pain everyday. I can't sit for more than 15 minutes.
