Surgeon Testimonial


Dr. Kim is the most careing doctor that I have ever met. He is completely concerned about our health and wellfare and wants to be sure that we are in tip top shape before he does surgery on you. If he has a doubt about anything that has to do with your health he will send you to a specialist for their opinion. I liked everything about Dr. Kim. He is very straightforward in what he says to you and he tells you exactly what you need to know. I haven't had my surgery yet. I am in the third month of dieting for my insurance (Aetna HMO). I go back on the 21st of October and I am unsure if I turn all of my WL journals into him then or turn them in to Pam ( his coordinator ). All of his staff are very knowledgeable of the surgery and what all that we will have to go through. I know that he does have a structured after care and he does tell us from the beginning about all the risks of the surgery. I would rate him and his staff 15 out of the 1-10. They are all very careing and friendly and care alot about their patients. He has monthly meetings that he really encourages his patients to attend after their surgery and he encouranges you to exercise and Walk. He is the best and anyone considering WLS in the Fort Worth are should consider using him. For a thin man ........He truely has a heart for the obese and really wants to help us to live a normal and healthly life.

Today I am dealing with MAJOR self esteem issues.   I hate this !!!!  I hate feeling like I am unworthy and unloved.   YUCK.....what a Yucky feeling.   I know that my husband and family loves me but ya know....when you are ignored or taken for granted it sucks.    Maybe they don't even realize what they are doing.   Just like my 17 yr old son saturday at the conference called me to ask what time CiCi's Pizza closes???   Like I really know that since I have not been there in years !!!!  LOL   Geee....talk about dependent upon Mom.   I thought that I had raised all 3 of my son's to be very independent men...I guess I have NOT done that good of a job.   Maybe I mother them too much like I mother everyone on this messageboard.   I am like a Mother hen....trying to protect all the baby chicks....always giving advice to others and I do really try to give very sound advice.    I always try to compliment others but then I have such a majorly hard time accepting compliments myself.   Just some things that I need to work on.   I also need to work on loving and accepting my "new" body.   As imperfect as it is.   There is NO WAY that it could be perfect....I abused it for so many many years....no a lifetime of abuse....overeating till I would have to go to bed because I had made myself sick.   That is just wrong.   Thank God I woke up from that additcition before it killed me.    Thank God I have my family and my OH friends to fall back on when I stumble and fall and lift me up.    I try to be such a loving person to others....just too bad I am not nearly as nice to myself.   That is something I am definately going to be working on.
