  1. Dr Kim did my inverted sleeve 3 years ago. He is an excellent doctor and his staff is amazing! I highly recommend him. How did you feel about your visit with him?
  2. Hi, Browneyed! Dr Kim did my inverted sleeve 3 years ago. He is an excellent doctor and your right the staff is amazing!! What I love about Kim Bariatric is the after surgery support! They have monthly support groups, monthly fitness events with Nate Newton and biking fitness events. Dr Kim throws his staff a really nice Christmas party for his patients each year. The private Facebook group is amazing!! We do 5ks/10ks together, monthly breakfast/dinner get togethers, we have gone dancing and painting together. We are doing our first KBI cruise this year!! So KBI has lots to offer and doesn't leave you hanging after your surgery. You are not just a number, you are important and success is very important to KBI. Good luck to your journey to whomever you choose!

    Dr Kim did my sleeve 3 years ago. I have no regrets in choosing him. He also has a traveling patient program. There is a TON of after surgery support especially if join the private fb support group. Lots of friendships have been created through this group. I wish you best in journey whoever you decide to use.
  7. If you have insurance, and your insurance won't cover bariatric surgery. Dr David Kim is doing a special for $4900. You have to go get checked for a Hiatal hernia which most all overweight people have. Then your General insurance pays for the test for that and the repair of it during WLS, and the bariatric cash price is 4900! Great deal!
  8. Hiatel hernias are very common in most people that overeat and are overweight. What is your weight? Some people have symptoms and some don't. Some of the symptoms are acid reflux, indigestion and heartburn. I used Dr Kim and he has this same program. Good luck on your journey!

    How much was you self-pay ?

    Dr Kim did my sleeve 3 years ago and I have no regrets. Hes a great doctor and knows what he is doing! He does offer a traveling patient program, you should give Kim Bariatrics a call. I have my life back thanks to him! The staff is amazing as well and the support after surgery is lifelong, that is huge plus, a lot of surgeons don't offer after surgery support. Good luck to your journey!

    Sex drive

    Im 2 1/2 years out and in the beginning I had a high one, but now I have a very low one. I take all the vitamins I'm supposed to, exercise, use a compounded testorone cream bc my testorone was low, and my drive is still low. Its crazy. I have a new job and its very stressful, that's the only thing I can think of is the high stress causing the lack of interest. When we are child free and are able to go on dates its better, but that doesn't happen very often. Have you had your hormones checked?
  14. Sleeved by Dr Kim at Kim Bariatrics Institute in Colleyville January 2012.

    Ok this is bugging me

    You may have already had surgery by now. But to qualify for the Dr Kim's Making Bariatrics Affordable plan, you have to have insurance with in network and out of network benefits. Also your insurance has to have and exculsion for bariatric surgery. Yes you do have to go get an upper endoscopy to check for a hiatal hernia. 99% of Dr Kim' s patients have one weither it be small or big, they have one. Really anyone who is overweight, has heartburn, acid reflux, indigestion are a clues that you have a hiatal hernia. If you have a hernia then you are qualified for the 4900 sleeve special. Hope this info helps.

    Inverted Gastric Sleeve

    Dr Kim did my surgery 2 1/2 years ago, not sure if he did what you stated, but I sure am happy with my results and Dr Kim was a great doctor!

    Dr Guillermo Albarez

    Actually to get the 4900 you have to have insurance but you have to have in/out of network benefits and no bariactric benefits at all with the insurance.

    Toys and Orgasms

    I have been married almost 22 years. Since I have lost the weight 2 1/2 yrs ago with surgery I finally have found out what a true orgasm is. Not that I didn't have them before, but I think im more in "tune" with what's going on when they happen. The only thing is it takes a vibrator plus my hubby to get there, and its freakin amazing! I hope my hubby doesn't think that he is not good enough for it to be just him? Anyone else have to have a toy to get there?
  23. I had sugery 2 1/2 years ago with bcbs federal and I started the process at the end of Sept 2011 and had surgery Jan 2012. I had to go through 3 months of nutritional classes.
  24. Yes, I have bcbs federal and insure nutrition sent me vitamins and free protein shakes for almost a year and then said my insurance would not longer cover it. I loved it! I paid nothing. It was soooo great having the extra protein shakes.
