Surgeon Testimonial


Dr. Kim is a really nice man. He made me feel very comfortable from the first moment I met him. I am very comfortable with him performing my surgery. His staff was very nice and supporative. I wasn't very happy with the fact he doesn't meet you until after approval but quickly got over that after meeting him. I can understand how busy he is and why he does what he does. Pam at North Hills Hospital is a great source of information. I have really enjoyed working with her and Cathy from their insurance department.

Protein Protein Protein!
on July 27, 2007 7:40 pm
This protein thing is sooo hard!!! I didn't realize this was going to be hard. I just can't seem to find any protein I like. All of them seem to make me gag. Liz from the TMB is very generously sending me some differnt kinds I can try. Hopefully I will like one of them. My hair is falling out and I want that to stop! I know the only way to do that is to increase my protein. I am just going to have to make myself do it. I did buy some more protein bars today so that should help. At first I was losing weight doing whatever I want now the weight is falling off a lot slower so I know I need to play by the rules! I'm going to update my story area now. It's been a couple of months.

So sick of this hospital!!!
on March 31, 2007 5:38 pm
Well I am 5 days post op and STILL in the hosptial. I haven't been able to keep anything down including water. Today was my first good day. Hopefully that means I will be able to go home tomorrow. So far I have questioned my descion to have this surgery every day since the day I had it. I just keep telling myself the end result is worth it. I just wished I believed that at the moment.

Tomorrow is the day!
on March 26, 2007 10:31 am
Well tomorrow is the big day!!! I can't believe it's here already. I am sooo nervous. I honestly didn't believe I would be this nervous but I am.  In my heart I know everything will be fine but I'm still a little scared. I'm ready for it all to be over with and be on the losing side. I woke up this morning with a runny nose so I'm hoping it goes away quickly. I'm trying to do whatever I can to help it a long. Everything seems to just be falling a part. There is a part of me that keeps asking myself if I'm doing the right thing. If I'm supposed to be having the surgery or not. Sitter keep falling through, my dad is mad, and just time wise nothing is going quite right. AHHHH! I'm just saying a huge prayer that everything goes in the right direction and gets better quickly! 

Okay back to getting prepared!

Is this really happening?
on March 11, 2007 9:15 am

I was awake last night and woke up early this morning with the same thought on my mind. Is this really happening??? Am I really only 2 1/2 weeks away from a new ME! I can't believe haver 18 years of being overweight I am finally going to be the person I see myself as not the person everyone else sees. I can't believe I'm finally going to be healthier and happier. I can't believe I will now have  the chance to see my grand kids and hopefully great grandkids. I am so excited about feeling good enough to go outside and play soccer with my kids, chasing my twins around the play ground, showing my daughter her mom has some cool dance moves too! I want to do mommy and me dance, gymnastics anything and everything!!! I am just bubbling over with exicitment! Even if i am a bit grumpy from only being able to eat these nasty shakes and no real food. I really could live without that part but do understand why Dr. Kim has me doing them. I've already lost 14 lbs. and know I should probably lose 20 more before surgery. I want to make sure I do everything I can to make the surgery easier for Dr. Kim and thus me.
