Dr David Kim in Colleyville, Tx??



Recommended Posts

Has anyone on the board had VSG done by Dr David Kim in Colleyville, Texas? Or know someone who has? How about the Forest Park Medical Center (physician owned, I think) where he performs his surgeries? Any info?

Thanks for any information! :lol0:

Madelyn,

I am having the VSG done with a different surgeon (Dr. Nick Nicholson) but it will be at Park Forest MC. It will be this Tues, 12/7, and I will be glad to post my reviews afterward, and yes, it is physician owned. I was there Tuesday for Pre-Op testing and it appears to be a very clean, up to date and modern facility.

Madelyn,

I had my surgery at Forest Park Medical Center in August. The facility was very nice and clean. The nursing staff was professional, compassionate and attentive. I have had surgery (c-sections and gall bladder surgery) in 3 other area hospitals (Presby Plano, Plano Medical Center & Centennial Hospital in Frisco). I would rank FPMC right up there with all of them, it's just physically smaller all though still a full hospital - which is not such a bad thing. Yes it is doctor owned.

My husband also had his surgery at Forest Park last summer. The facility is beautiful and we were impressed by the nursing care he received there.

I'm having a revision from band to VSG on January 8th at Forest Park with Dr. Wade Barker (he did my original lap band surgery). I'm glad to see all the good remarks about the facility as this will be my first time to be there. It looked really nice on the website.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
