Dr David Kim in Colleyville, Tx??



Recommended Posts

Has anyone on the board had VSG done by Dr David Kim in Colleyville, Texas? Or know someone who has? How about the Forest Park Medical Center (physician owned, I think) where he performs his surgeries? Any info?

Thanks for any information! :lol0:

Madelyn,

I am having the VSG done with a different surgeon (Dr. Nick Nicholson) but it will be at Park Forest MC. It will be this Tues, 12/7, and I will be glad to post my reviews afterward, and yes, it is physician owned. I was there Tuesday for Pre-Op testing and it appears to be a very clean, up to date and modern facility.

Madelyn,

I had my surgery at Forest Park Medical Center in August. The facility was very nice and clean. The nursing staff was professional, compassionate and attentive. I have had surgery (c-sections and gall bladder surgery) in 3 other area hospitals (Presby Plano, Plano Medical Center & Centennial Hospital in Frisco). I would rank FPMC right up there with all of them, it's just physically smaller all though still a full hospital - which is not such a bad thing. Yes it is doctor owned.

My husband also had his surgery at Forest Park last summer. The facility is beautiful and we were impressed by the nursing care he received there.

I'm having a revision from band to VSG on January 8th at Forest Park with Dr. Wade Barker (he did my original lap band surgery). I'm glad to see all the good remarks about the facility as this will be my first time to be there. It looked really nice on the website.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
