Would anyone recommend a good dr in Dallas/Fort Worth area? There are so many...how do you choose the right one?

Interested in the Lap band procedure.

I used Dr Kim in Colleyville. :biggrin: And get my fills at Forest Park. It worked out great for me.

Hello there!! I'm not sure what part of DFW you live in, but I am going to Dr. David Kim. I haven't been banded as of yet, but I have been going to his Colleyville office for my supervised weight loss. My insurance (Cigna) requires 6 months of a doctor supervised weight loss attempt/education.

Dr. Kim is very experienced in performing WLS. When I went for my consultation, he really listened to me regarding the surgery I wanted. His staff is very helpful and educated. I think he has performed WLS surgery on a few of the ladies in his office. I also went and looked up everything I could about him and his practice. Everything I found was extremely favorable. A co-worker, of my husband, is getting ready to contact Dr. Kim regarding surgery revision. He had surgery with another doctor and has had some issues. He also heard great things about Dr. Kim.

Dr. Kim is very realistic and doesn't make you think you will be skinny as soon as you wake up from surgery. He and his staff try to ensure the patients understand the band as a tool.

I don't know who you will ultimately pick, but I hope this helps. Good Luck to you!

thank you all for your responses. Dr Kim is who I was leaning towards, and now with everyone suggesting him, that's probably my choice.

I'll call their office for more info.

Great choice. I don't think they come any better. Dr Kim and his staff are head and shoulders above the rest.

Take my word for it, I am not afraid to call a spade a spade. These people are top notch!!!

I have an appt next Wed with Dr Kim! Nervous & excited.

My insurance doesn't cover WLS, so it'll be self pay. Hoping for some financing to pay for part of it.

I'm so ready for this to happen.

There are financing companies specifically for weight loss surgery these days.

Good luck and there is nothing to be nervous about.
