My surgeon is Dr. David Kim and I will have surgery Nov. 12th at the Trophy Club Medical Center (Dallas/Fort Worth TX). I am pleased with my choice and I am very excited about my new life adventure. Looking forward to living life again. Loser's bench her the new me comes!

Good for you! hooray!!!

I will have surgery Nov. 12th at the Trophy Club Medical Center (Dallas/Fort Worth TX).

I'm getting sleeved there by Dr. Kim this Monday, 10/22. Excited, nervous, overwhelmed!!!

I've lost 12 pounds in the past week but have only been on liquid diet since Tuesday! I think nerves are part of the reason - I just wasn't hungry last week and now I'm on liquids!

Good luck to you!

Way to go nerves or not the fat is gone! Good luck to you and keep me posted. My date is going to work out perfectly for me. I'm ready! I will start a diet this Sunday to gear up for the liquid diet.

My surgeon is also Dr Kim but scheduled December 13th. I would have it done tomorrow but unfortunately my work travel is what put me behind. I am so excited. I have a friend who has had the sleeve and doing fantastic. I am hooked on these blogs reading, gathering information not all information but the things that pertain to me.

I am excited for you and for everyone in this journey. I look forward to the old me coming back out to be the new me~

Did you get a free t-shirt for mentioning his name in the title like that? You should have.

Wooot! Maybe we can walk the halls together post-op? LOL!

Another Dr. Kim sleever here! I'm almost 6 weeks post-surgery. I'm really glad I did this. It gets easier and easier - I promise! Hardest thing for me is getting focused on the exercise part. Tomorrow is "check out some gyms day."

Good luck all of you!!!!!

And remember - post-surgery:

SIP SIP SIP

WALK WALK WALK (and then walk some more!!!). It helps so much with the discomfort from the abdominal gas.

Let us know how you do

Dr. Kim 2/14 at Wise. I'm going to give myself some time to get adjusted to daily workouts and dieting before starting the pre-op. We are doing the long drive to Decatur from Plano and we'll all (wife and kids) be in a hotel the night before surgery.

That's a good idea, that pretty much what did....prepare to make the change!

You'll be so glad you made the change. And I hope you'll be as happy with Dr Kim and his staff as I have been. Good luck!!

I've pretty much come to the conclusion that Dr. Kim is the complete package. Not that I'm a expert at medical practices or anything, but he runs an efficient operation and his staff and facilities are excellent.

I do find it mildly annoying to go in his office and hear the sales videos loop over and over along with the billboards everywhere. I can overlook that. I realize that WLS is a big business in the DFW area and it's a cut-throat business just like cellphones, Internet service, etc.

He's got the funds to do the media blitzes because of his success.

Haha. I agree. Not a fan of all if the commercials and stuff. But his skill and staff more than make up for all of that. His practice and people are amazing.

I also checked out Nick Nicholson. I'm not exactly fond of my insurance requiring me to go to a hospital and hour and a half away. Dr. Nick can do it much closer to my house.

Dr. Nick is great doctor and probably a very good surgeon, but his staff seems a little sub-par. They seemed a little overworked and understaffed. I really didn't get that impression on the two visits I've had a Dr Kim's. Dr Kim's staff is very organized and very responsive.

I'm going to have a lot more interaction with the staff, so I picked Dr. Kim.
