Guest guest Posted June 15, 2006 Report Posted June 15, 2006 Hi guys, Thanks so much where you have led me so far. It's en bloc for me for sure -- no questions. I am indebted to you for getting me firmly on that path. I spoke with Dr. Kolb last night. She called me on the phone the same day I emailed her!!!! Pretty amazing. She was great. I am willing to go to Atlanta, but it is going to be about twice as much to do that than if I stayed in Florida ( higher surgery costs, lotel stay, flight or gas costs, etc....) I found Dr. Debaise in Orlando -- just a 2.5 hour drive from me who does en bloc removal. He costs about half of what Dr. Kolb costs, plus travel and hotel will be much less, and follow-ups will be pretty easy. Any views, sisters? If $6,000 is what it's going to take to get it just right, then I won't blink at it.(It's coming from a loan, anyway!) I just want to know if it would be just as good to go to the fellow in my area, even though I don't know if he is sympathetic to the idea of implants causing sickness or not. Thanks in advance, and I am not doubting either of these surgeons or questioning high prices or anything negative. Just investigating. Gratefully, Dawn in Florida Quote
