Surgeon Testimonial

David Kam, M.D.
I wasn't sure if I like him at first but felt very comfortable with his skills as a surgeon. He turned out to be a truly wonderful Doctor with a great bedside manner. I would reccommend him to anyone needing this type of surgery.

    I'll be thinking of you tomorrow. I left you some good Karma at Barix yesterday. You'll breeze through this and you couldn't be in better hands. Keep in touch.. k?

    Friday is your day! Just remember you are on the journey of a lifetime. Try to enjoy every minute. It may sound weird now, but know that you are cared for and prayed for here, and all too soon this will be but a memory and you will be an inspiration to someone else. I am waiting for you on the losers' bench!

My Story

I am  46 yrs old ( I don't feel that old though) married mother of two great kids ages 23 and 19.  I have been overweight most of my adult life.  I have tried just about everything to lose weight from Weight Watchers ( 3 times) Nutri System (2 times), Metabalife, SlimFast, Herbalife and the list goes on.  I knew I needed to lose weight but about a year and a half ago my doctor put me on high blood pressure medication.  You'd think that would be motivation enough to lose some of the weight but here I am 20+ pounds heavier.  A friend of mine started looking into WLS options and she told me about the LapBand.  I was so interested I started doing some research on my own.  On August 10th 07 I met with the Dr I hope will be doing my surgery.  I am now waiting for all my paperwork to be submitted to him so that his office can send it to my Insurance for approval.  So, this is the begining of my story...
