I just joined and would love to know how it went for you with Dr. Kim. I am still in pre-op under Dr. Kim.

Hey there!! I hope all is well. Today is my 1 week post op anniversary. It has been an up and down battle that really kinda sucks to be honest. I love dr Kim and he did a great job with my surgery from what I can tell so far! I was only put on a 7 day liquid diet pre op so it wasn't as difficult as I've heard from some people. But I'm down 35 pounds in the 14 days!! 335-300 :) best of luck to you in your journey with dr Kim

Dr Kim performed my gastric sleeve in 2011. I've since lost 100 lbs, high blood pressure and no more sleep apenea!!! I'm so glad that I chose Kim Bariatric!! Now I can do so many things that I never dreamed of doing in the past....well...maybe dreamed but never thought I'd actually do them. I've zipped lined, ran in 5K's, 10'K's, shopped in regular stores, fit comfortably in an airline seat, and the list goes one!! It's a wonderful journey and I'm so glad I've been given then second opportunity to enjoy my life!!

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!

      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.
