Surgeon Testimonial

Keith Kim, M.D.
My first impression of Dr. Kim was one of amazement. He wanted his staff to take all the prop's and compliments. He was just the one running the computer. His staff was dynomite and the program is top notch!

He stresses the after care and works to keep you motivated. You have all the resources that his office has, at your finger tips. He explained the risks of the surgery in great detail and it made me feel comfortable with the doctor I chose.

I would give him a rating of 8 so far only because I haven't seen him for the follow up appointment yet but I expect that to go as great as the pre-op and day of surgery did. He is really a great doctor and one that I would recommend to anyone.

Been A Minute...
on November 14, 2010 6:28 am
Hi gang!

      I know, it has been a few minutes since I updated everyone.  Life has seemed to kept moving into the future when all I wanted to do is sit still in the moment.  I've been a horrible steward of my body and spirit, but I suppose that's the way we grieve.  It just doesn't work well with having bariatric surgery.  My vitamin levels are low and I have to get another work-up and if my levels are still low or lower, then I have to have an IV to get them up.  I really can't tell that they are that far off.  I feel fine, just get tired easier than I did even when I just had the surgery.  I'm gonna do better though, I am trying to drag my butt out of my depression.  I just can't take being depressed any more, I don't have any of my vices that I can turn to and that sux big time.  I want to eat, Eat, EAT!!!  Well, I can want all I want to can't I?  LOL!

     It is still so weired to lable myself as a widow.  Every time I say it,  I kind of look around for a spider to come crawling out...haha!  Eh, I still feel married and in love and all that goes along with a 25 year marriage.  I don't think that ever changes, I mean, like ...it isn't like a divorce...you know...like YEAH...WoooHooooo....I'm single...Let's PaRtAy!  Nah, not like that.  I sometimes just want to crawl into a dark corner and fade away, it's like I feel like I have a disease or something.  I didn't ask for this but yet I HAVE to go through it and it pisses me off!  Weird huh?  Yeah, I think so too.

     I still wear my wedding rings on my left finger.  I have been told that I need to move on and I have been told that there is no rule book to dealing with loss.  I mean there are guidelines but each person is different.  Someone may move on in a few weeks, months and find another and fall in love and ...blah, blah , blah.   Some NEVER finds another mate and they are quite happy with that.  I'm not sure where I fit in there.  I am kind of in a gray area, not knowing yet what I want and that kind of makes me want to force food into my mouth.  This is the time I am so so sorry I had this surgery.  I could fall into a pile of fried chicken and become a walking clogged artery again and not regret it.  I have tried, believe me.  It just won't fit anymore.  That pisses me off too!  LOL

     I am trying to pick myself up and get out of this self destructive mode.  I have good days and bad days.  Sometimes I can laugh at a memory we shared and then there are other times I wallow in agony and shreaks of hopelessness, I don't like those times so much.  I am almost postitive I need to go back to my shrink but I think...what the hell can she do for me that my best friend hasn't tried or done?  Eh, who knows...I'll think about it.

     I am so so damn sorry that I am not my usual uplifting, motivational self.  I want to get back to that so much, be patient with me, maybe one day I can be that bouncy ray of hope for all of those that need someone like that to help them make the transition to a better "rest of their lives".  Ok gang, I am going to close this for now and say that....you are important...you do count...do as I say and not as I do!  Hahahahahaha!!  
Peace~
