Dr. David D Kim DFW?



Recommended Posts

Dr. Kim did by band removal in June and I was sleeved by him last week. I think he's very thorough, wouldn't do my sleeve when he found erosion with my band, but he isn't the kind of doctor that will coddle you. He's pretty much strictly business. I will say that I do think his post-op diet is THE most restrictive I've heard of. And I don't think there's a chance I will be able to make it 6 weeks on just liquids. Ugh!

After my band removal he did come to my room and talk with me and my DH. When I was sleeved I only saw him before they took me back. My personal opinion was that I was using him for his surgical skills and not his bedside manner. I have no regrets picking him as my surgeon but I don't know that we would be bffs or anything. Lol!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
