As anyone had gastric sleeve or weight loss surgery with Dr. Kim in Dallas? If so, please let me know your experience and progress!

Hi Shannon,

I've not been sleeved yet but heard great testimonials about Dr Kim. A sports personality Ben Rodgers used him with great results among others! Dr Kim's website lists support groups you can join I believe. He is the only other Dr I would consider doing my surgery because of what I found in my own research. bs

Thank you BS! I appreciate the insight. I'll check out the support groups for sure. I hope that your sleeve goes well sweetie. Happy Memorial Day to you!

Hey Shannon! I'm using Dr. Kim's office currently. Dr. Holden is doing my surgery (who also works in his office out of Colleyville. I've had nothing but amazing experience with the office. I can call up there any time and ask questions and they are more than happy to answer. I have one more nutritional class this week and then endoscopy and then surgery time !! Amazing office staff amazing experience so far !

Hey Shannon...I am pre-op and going through KBI too. I was approved last week. I have an endoscopy and bariatric university remaining. Surgery in November. I love the staff! My 3 month insurance process was so organized...time really flew by. Good Luck on your journey!

Emmalu222 when is your surgery? Dr Holden is also doing my surgery at Baylor in October. Good Luck!! Stay in touch, would love to know how everything goes.

Hi Shannon! I haven't received my surgery date yet. I finish my BEND classes on Thursday so after that I'm hoping to get a at least a tentative date Then again I have to wait for insurance approval as well. I've had to do 6 months of bend classes, sleep study, psych eval, EKG testing and now waiting on endoscopy. How long have you been going through the process?

Congrats sweetie! I've had the scope, nutrition class and passed cardiac clearance. My university class and pre-op is on 9/9. I will start my liquid diet on 9/18 and surgery is 9/25. WLS is a policy exclusion on my insurance so I qualified for the MBA program. Let's keep in touch. Happy to give you some insight since I'm about month or so ahead of you. Thanks for the good luck wishes!

Hi Emma! Congrats sweetie on sticking with the process. My first visit to Dr. Kim was 7/9. I've had the scope, nutrition class and passed cardiac clearance. My university class and pre-op is on 9/9. I will start my liquid diet on 9/18 and surgery is 9/25. WLS is a policy exclusion on my insurance so I qualified for the MBA program so I didn't have to jump through the insurance required hoops per say. Let's keep in touch. Happy to give you some insight since I'm rather month ahead of you. Thanks for the good luck wishes!

Well finished my last BEND class today and will most likely not be scheduled until December. I'm a little discouraged today.

[fitbefore30 32]

Sorry to hear that! It's a very busy place. I called them to get scheduled and glad I did because the lady said she had 80 patients to schedule. Hope the time flys by. One thing you get to Celebrate halloween and thanksgiving!

Sorry to hear that...the office is so busy! I was approved last month and given a November date.
