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.

Hello Everyone,

Well....day after tomorrow I am going into the hospital for lipo to the thing that I have been calling Miss Muffintop.   I will be so grateful for this huge roll of skin and fat to be gone.   Now...that being said ALL I am having done is LIPO !!!!   I don't really know what to expect.   As you can see from my photo this muffintop is huge...or it looks that way to me.   I really don't know if my skin is going to hang or what where the fat has been.   Dr. Rumalla said that he will be removing about 24 oz of fat and thinning out my thick skin.    Some have said that lipo really is very painful.   But I had lipo done with my LBL last year and I didn't even bruise from it.   Not totally sure what to expect.   I am going into it praying that I will be pleased with the results that I end up with.   I hope that I am right.    Sometimes the muffintop doesn't look so bad...then at others it is totally gross.    I just can't wait to get the fat out and the skin thinned out too.   Hope that I am happy with the way I look after the deed is done.   I am SOO TIRED of feeling that I look gross.   Not that anyone really sees me in my underwear but me and my hubby.   Oh well....I guess I will accept what I end up with.
