Dr. Kim in Colleyville TX



Recommended Posts

I am looking into going with him but would like your experience with him, good or bad. I am self-pay.

Also, did you have drain, how long stay in hospital, aftercare? I would be flying from out-of-state so need to get as much information as possible. Does he has a specific coofinator who works out of his office and NOT the recruiting type places?

All input is appreciated.

Have you looked into Dr. Nick Nicholson in Dallas? If not I suggest at least checking in with them, you might like it better. If you put in a query on the website the coordinator gets back to you very quickly. They are extremely nice there and the hotel room is included with your price (nice plus).

I am trying to go through insurance in my state, but have already decided to go with Nicholson if insurance falls through.

I originally was thinking about Dr. Kim but the office was not very responsive and was dragging thier feet for like a week just to look at my medical history packet that I had filled out, AND then I also read some very un-flattering things about him online (bedside manner, possibly rude to patients) and so that's when I got in touch with Nicholson's office and loved the service and just overall information and vibe that I got over there.

Good luck!! I know how hard it can be to choose a doctor, especially from out of state. :)

ETA: I have no way of knowing if any of what was written online about Dr. Kim is true or not, it's just stuff I read in some online reviews.

My friend used Dr. Kim and was happy but problems happened and she eventually had a redo by another doctor. She was not happy with his work . I would recommend Dr. Cribbins and Dr. Hamm.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
