Im getting my revision in dallas, texas.. has anyone used dr. David kim and if so any feedback

Thank you for your feedback.. Please keep us posted Janiadurl.. and I hope your trip to Texas is safe.. good luck with speedy recovery.

I was going to use Dr Nick but his staff was horrible and could not get my paperwork started so I went to Dr Kim. I'm doing my liquid diet now, finished day 2, 5 more to go till my 7/2 surgery. I LOVE the staff there and they are so patient, attentive & very helpful. Cannot say enough good things about them! Good luck!

I am so glad I saw your post. I am using Dr. Kim too. I was thinking of moving over to Dr. Nicholson but he didn't have any early appointments and I don't want to wait. I have my surgery June 6th and I am very nervous!

Court2180 - I feel so excited for you knowing that you'll be sleeved in 48 hours! You must be so excited!!!

I'm now 3 days out and feel ehh, mosty sore and lots of pressure from gas. Having a hard time getting my protein & liquids in but I think it's from the gas pains. So far I have not felt hungry or anything which is good. Waiting till my post op appointment to get these staples out, they itch!

I'm one week post op and have staples too. Only mine kinda burn not itch. Can't wait to get them out next week!

Once your staples are out you will feel soo much better! I went in for a revision with Dr Kim in June and because of the erosion and scar tissue he found he wasn't able to do it in one surgery. I was so disappointed when I woke up even though I do appreciate his caution. I'm back on the books for Part 2 on August 29th!

That will come up before you know it.

Im 7 months out. Dr. Kim is a great surgeon. I have lost almost 70lbs so far. His staff is very nice as well. Good luck on your surgery you are in great hands.

Let me know if it hurts. I'm kind of nervous about that part!!

Mine didn't hurt at all! The skin at the incision sites is still probably kinda numb, at least it was for me. Didn't feel a thing! I also came home with a drain..so gross...and was more worried about them taking that out. It didn't hurt either, just felt weird. Lol!

Good to know! Yes I've had a drain before, it was gross. And yes it feels totally weird when they pull it out...eek!!

I had a drain too and to be honest it caused a cramping sensation when he took it out. Then it was fine.

I didn't have a drain. What determines having a drain?

If the doctor thinks an area might bleed they sometimes place a drain. Honestly, I woke up with the drain and it never hurt or bothered me until he took it out.

I agree. My drain didn't hurt it was just awkward to deal with. Mine hardly had any output before I even left the hospital but they still left it in for a week. Sigh... Lol!!
