Gastric Sleeve...Hoping for DS Soon
If Dr Kim doesn't do the DS (and I've never heard of him so I have my doubts) he isn't going to advise you to get the DS. You need to get a consult with a surgeon who can actually give you a DS. Most of them (but not all) are listed on www.DSFacts.com.
What is your current BMI? Co-moribids? Insurance or are you a self-pay?

He does not do them.... I had him for my lap band also....
As a nurse I have worked with that office for many years, and still have a few friends still there!!.............. He really is doing only the RNY,Sleeve and banding........
I went to Dr Stewart in Denton for mine..
PM me if you want more information.. Good luck !!

Dr. Stewart did my revision from lap band to DS and he did not do my original band.
I highly recommend him. Not that I have heard bad things about Dr. Kim, but because he has more experience with the DS and it is a very complicated surgery.
