anothertexas gal 1 Posted October 21, 2013 Anyone used Kim Bariatric Institute in Colleyville Tx? If so how was your experience? I used Dr. Kim!

skinnytiff 49 Posted May 24, 2014 Dr Kim did my surgeryJan 2012 and I have lost a little over 90lbs. I still want to loose 50 to get to goal but I am very proud of myself for how far I have gotten. I would not have been able to do it without Dr Kim. I chose him because I had seen his face on billboards and commericals. He seemed well known and knew what he was doing. That was just the case, I trusted him from the minute I met him. He is very nice and spent a lot of time with my on my consultation. I went to many prep classes in the office which were very helpful! The office staff is amazing! They are so helpful and encouraging! I can do zumba, jog, bike ride all at ease now and I have even zip lined!! Im loving living life again and Im glad I chose Dr Kim as my Bariatric surgeon! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vsgchick 117 Posted May 24, 2014 I am going through pre-op with Dr. Kim's office and I have been impressed so far. I had a thorough consultation with him, Summar (coordinator) has answered every insurance/paperwork question I've had. Busy office, but I don't feel like I am getting lost in the shuffle.

skinnytiff 49 Posted May 24, 2014 That's great vsgchick! Welcome to the journey! how long doesn your insurance require you to wait before the surgery? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vsgchick 117 Posted May 24, 2014 That's great vsgchick! Welcome to the journey! how long doesn your insurance require you to wait before the surgery? Cigna requires 3 months of nutrition classes. My last one is in mid-August, but I am postponing vsg until November (getting married in October). Summar told me to enjoy the wedding cake and honeymoon then surgery lol. 1 skinnytiff reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

crystalsleeve 36 Posted October 13, 2014 I'm scheduled for my preop visit and Bariatric University class Nov 11th. What should i expect from this class or rather what did you find most helpful? I have been on liquids since 7/11. I had to lose 26 lbs before I was allowed to proceed with any of the other tests. So it will be about 4 months on liquids by the time surgery is here. I'm down 50 lbs so far. It's weird because one I got my date at the two month mark I was a little defeated. I thought about two more months on liquids and got down. For some reason I began having fears of losing to much weight before my surgery. Like that somehow meant I didn't need the surgery or something. I don't know it's hard to put my finger on it. Has anyone else gone through anything like this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
