I highly recommend Dr. Kim. I was sleeved in Sept 2011 and I have lost OVER 100 lbs. I have been in maintence for over a year and have kept the weight off!

Dr. Kims is amazing! He cares about his patients. He has an amazing staff and he offers the best support group that i have ever been invovled in!

His team has monthly meetings with guest speakers that help with support. The meetings are held the first wedneday of every month. They discuss different topics every month. I love attending these meetings because you get to meet different people who have also had the surgery and can relate to what you are going thru.

In addition to the meetings we have other support groups. I have made so many life long friends from the group, We do 5K ,10k together! They are all so supportive!!

I have had other friends who have had weight loss surgery and didn't use Dr. Kim and were very disappointed in the lack of post care! Dr. Kim's group realize that post care is important! I know the reason that I am successful and have not gained the wieght back is because of the post care! Please ask the office about attending the next monthly meeting! You will not be disappointed!!!

Dr Kim is the best! He has changed my life forever!! Let him do the same for you!!

Dr Kim did my surgeryJan 2012 and I have lost a little over 90lbs. I still want to loose 50 to get to goal but I am very proud of myself for how far I have gotten. I would not have been able to do it without Dr Kim. I chose him because I had seen his face on billboards and commericals. He seemed well known and knew what he was doing. That was just the case, I trusted him from the minute I met him. He is very nice and spent a lot of time with my on my consultation. I went to many prep classes in the office which were very helpful! The office staff is amazing! They are so helpful and encouraging! I can do zumba, jog, bike ride all at ease now and I have even zip lined!! Im loving living life again and Im glad I chose Dr Kim as my Bariatric surgeon!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
