"I was impressed at the \"seminar\". The Benefits and Risks of having the differenct types of weight loss surgery were discussed and written materials provided for those who were considering the surgery. rnrnDr. Kim's office staff have done all the hard work--getting insurance approval etc. When I met face to face with Dr. Kim, he discussed more specifically all risks involved for me and all the potential benefits of WLS if I did my part. rnrnDue to my age and health history, the Lap Band procedure was chosen by Dr. Kim. I wanted to attended the 2-hr pre-op education class prior to making a final decision but that was not an option. Dr. Kim was adamant that using additional staff resources was for persons who were decided about the surgery.rnrnI understood that. Dr. Kim is there to help those who have decided to make a committment to help themselves. Anyone considering weight loss surgery should do their homework by going to the seminar provided by Dr. Kim and his staff, reading the iinformation that is provided after the seminar and doing some research on the internet.rnrnI'll get back after my surgery on the 9th to let you know how it went.rnrnGail"
