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.

Hi Everyone,

Well....yesterday was my 55th birthday. I spend 10 hours of my day helping my son and his girlfriend move into a new apartment. I think that I alone made 5 trips over from the old to new apartment. LOL I walked up and down their stairs at least 30 to 40 times. LOL I sure did get in exercise. In fact this morning when I got on the scale I had lost 2 lbs. LOL Great for me. I am so pleased with the results so far from my lipo. Didn't think at first that there was much improvement...but when I placed the now photos on my profile and looked at the pre op lipo photos....there is a huge difference. My husband wasn't real keen on me posting more photos of me in my underwear but hey....IF the photos can give one person some much needed hope....then so be it. It was worth it. And besides...it isn't like they are looking at me in person anyway. LOL I would never ever do that anyway. I am much too modest...but if any ladies that I meet want to see my scars from my PS...tell me if you meet me and I will show you in person...just not the men. LOL Have a wonderful evening.
