I had Dr. Kim it went very well. I had DiDi and Merylene as my nurses and they were good. My friend and her husband also went thru Dr. Kim. we were very pleased. Just make sure you get up as often as possible to walk. I was walking 6+ laps on my own so she wouldnt wake me up every 2 hours. LOL that was our agreement. Bu t was in my everyday clothes later that day and walking and sleeping. Good luck

Copay or deductible? If its deductible my hospital stay an all my testing at the Texas General hospital ate up my deductible and I didn't have to pay anything up front. Just my copays each visit and 250. Scheduling fee that went towards the surgery balance. Also get 3 months free post-op. I have Aetna and that's my experience with dr Kim.

I am very glad to find this post - and its nice to see everyone was happy with the staff.

I have my surgery coming up 12/16/13, and will be using Dr. kim at Texas General. I sent PM

My ekg was there and the staff were wonderful, I am just more worried about being self pay and how the whole insurance part works since I did have a hernia as well that will be taken care of at the same time. I just received my explanation of benefits from my insurance for the EKG and I am now a little worried about how that part all plays out.

I was wondering the same thing. I have the "option" of Victory Medical or Texas General. I do not hear much talk about Texas General, but have heard Victory is really nice.

I think Forrest Park is the other nice one I hear about...

Don't hear much about Texas General

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
