    Inverted gastric sleeve

    Hi there! I've had the inverted sleeve by Dr. Kim in Colleyville TX. I've had NO problems, and so far have lost 130 lbs in a year. The experience has been great, and no regrets!

    I've had the inverted sleeve from Dr. Kim and it's been the best decision I've ever made. No complications at all and I LOVE my sleeve!

    How common is a Hiatal Hernia?

    Viv...it's a major surgery, but if you follow your surgeons directions, you'll be just fine! It's an amazing journey. At my highest weight a few months before surgery, I was 332 lbs. It's been one year and I've lost 127 lbs so far. You can do this!
  6. If you have a co-morbidity,such as a hiatel hernia or sleep apnea, the cash pay price can be substantially reduced. I suggest calling them to discuss...their office can give you all the options!
  7. Hey Phat! If you can schedule a consultation with Dr. Kim before you pay more to your doctor in Mexico, maybe it's worth a shot? It'll at least give you another opinion/option.
  8. Hi there! I also had the inverted sleeve by Dr. Kim and it's been an AMAZING journey. And, I was cash pay, too! Not only is he an excellent surgeon, but everyone on his is invested in your success. Monthly support group meetings, private FB support group, work out sessions, events...it's so much more than surgery! Let us know how your journey progresses.

    How common is a Hiatal Hernia?

    Hi Vanessa! How did your procedure go? I was in the same position, and Dr. Kim confirmed my hernia. I was so excited. ..LOL. That was a year ago and I've now lost 127 lbs. You chose the best surgeon for so many reasons...let us know!

    How common is a Hiatal Hernia?

    Mine is scheduled for July 8 (2 days away)! I had my consult on my 23 birthday. I have insurance but WLS is an exclusion so Dr. Kim proposed the hernia route. I'm very nervous now that I will not have it... I really need this or else I can't afford the $15K price tag.
