I get sleeved on the 11th of January 2013. Dr kim at celebration is my surgeon. My insurance is medicre and they just oked my sleeve. It was a long wait from first sminar to now but it was medicare that was the hangup. They (medicare) just oked the sleeve. You will have a lot of test and classes befor you get a date. Good luck with your choice. I also went to Dr jawad's seminar and decided on Dr. Kim.

My husband and I both had our VSG done by Dr. Patrick Domkowski in Sebastian. I would highly recommend him and the staff at Sebastian River Medical Center.

Dr Keith Kim at celebration health. I was planning on having surgery with him but insurance denied me. I went thru a long 6 mo journey with him and his staff attempting to get insurance approval. Great facility and top notch staff!

I have had the Lap Band, the Lap Band removal and the Sleeve surgery all done by Dr. Domkowski. Awesome surgeon and great person. I would HIGHLY recommend him, or his associate. the office staff is great. I never felt stupid for asking questions, or judged in any way. the way I like to explain it is that you will always wait in the waiting room, but when he is in the room with you, he is focused on you and your needs.

Awesome!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
