I'm waiting for approval. .Dr.David Kim will be my surgeon. I live in Little Elm.

I'm in McKinney, TX. and pre-sleeve. I'm heading to Cancun for mine, though. Insurance wants me to give them both arms and legs to have WLS and definitely feel this is the way to go for me.

Scheduled mine December 13th with Dr Kim...I am self pay only waiting because i am traveling for my work the next 7 weeks...or I would have it tomorrow if I could.

Congratulations and good luck ~ Not sure about you but I am ready for a new me.....

I am having mine next Wed. 10/27.

Tracy, my friend had hers with Dr Kim and when he went in he found a hernia so he billed the ins. for the hernia and she got $6500 back....

Tracy' date=' my friend had hers with Dr Kim and when he went in he found a hernia so he billed the ins. for the hernia and she got 6500 back....[/quote']

Wow..I just want to come out safe and sleeved

He mentioned about a possible hernia but never about possibly getting any monies back....wow another one of God's blessing's if that happens but then I don't want a hernia either so a catch 22 isn't it?

My friend had her's with Dr Kim as well on Jan 30th has lost 90-lbs. We had dinner the other night and she looks absolutely great, happy, healthy a glow that I never saw in the 20+ years I have known her. She has been a great asset with advice and knowing that not everything that worked for her will work for me.

Dr Kim is very direct and honestly if your looking for bedside manner he is not your guy but his staff you could not ask for anyone nicer. I am okay with him not being great bedside manner...all I care about is his experience, results and past patients experiences...all of which have been good.

I have started writing in a journal to help with my emotions, excitment, etc. I have only told a few friends and my immediate family.

My friends said December 13th Christmas time...my response. There will always be other holidays, etc and this is no different so bring on December 13th...

Thank you all for the information and support. I can't wait for December 13th.
