Who Was Your Gastric Sleeve Surgeon
Ms C replied to boredswfl's topic in Weight Loss Surgeons & Hospitals
My surgeon was Dr David Kim and surgery was performed Feb 14, 2011 at Trophy Club Medical Center. Can not recommend Dr Kim, his staff or the hospital enough!! 5 star treatment/accomodations! I was in the hospital 2 nights -

Any suggestions on a surgeon in Texas (DFW area)
Ms C replied to Penpen's topic in Weight Loss Surgeons & Hospitals
Hello Penpen! I used Dr David Kim in Colleyville. Absolutely would recommend him to anyone. He and his entire stafff are very friendly and the whole process was so easy -- from the insurance approval to the post-op appointments. Great Dr! -
I feel like I am doing something wrong!! I was sleeved on Feb 14 and the scale has slowed down to a very slow crawl!! I even gained 1/2 pound at one point. I know I should be happy with the 25 pounds I have lost (includes pre-op diet) but I just feel like I should be losing more than I am. Is this normal??? Will it get better once I start the "mushy' food stage?

YOU ARE SO RIGHT!! I should be thankful that I am finally on my journey and I don't have to lose all the weight in a month! I need to change my way of thinking -- the scale is going down and not up - thats a good thing!!! Its so funny because my husband hid the scale from me!! He says I am being a little obsessive - which I agree!! I am going to weight only 1x per week. Thanks for encouragement!!

Good Morning Kelly'sChipper!! I am doing well - 9 days out from surgery. I have lost 24.4 pounds. I am a little lethargic but Dr says thats normal after surgery. Started back to work today - will have to see how it goes without my daily naps!

Good Mornining Kelly's Chipper!! My Bariatric University class is scheduled for 2/1/11. When are you scheduled for surgery?

Dr Kim is my surgeon too!! I was told during one of my insurance required classes that the 2 week pre-op liquid diet is to help shrink the fatty liver to make it easier to access the stomach. I will do my best to stay on the liquid diet but 2 weeks is a long time without food and without the sleeve to help me! My surgery date is Feb 14. Good luck to you!

Hi Y'all I haven't been scheduled for my surgery yet but hoping to be a January sleever!! I have my last required BEND class tomorrow (3 classes required by my insurance) and then all paperwork will be submitted for approval. I am so excited and nervous at the same time! Keeping my fingers crossed for a January date. Merry Christmas and a HEALTHY 2011!!
