[Shrinkmepls 10]

Hi I'm in Dallas Texas ! My first appt is with Dr.Kim. Has anyone had him ? What can I expect in the two hours I'll be in the appt ? I also have Aetna choice Pos I I. They said they cover bariatric surgery and there is a program I must complete. Anyone have this insurance ? How much out of pocket cost was it?

Hi, Dr Kim did my inverted sleeve a little over 3 years ago. 90 lbs down and living life again!

He is an excellent doctor with an excellent friendly staff that will walk you through your process. Make sure you fill out your packet before you go in. You will weigh in and get your height, then meet with a PA to ask you a bunch of health and history questions. Then you will meet with Dr Kim or Dr Holden whoever your doctor will be with your program. Then you will meet with a Bariatric Coordinator to go over your program and get you all set up with your classes. You may have a 90 day program but not sure and everyone's deductibles are different so that depends on your insurance plan. I can't answer that one.

All I know is I loved my experience with KBI. From the moment I walked through the door to the rest of my life they will be there. They have monthly support groups and free fitness events. The private patient only Facebook support group is amazing!!! You can not join it until you have had surgery. But it will help you through your journey. The group is very encouraging and supportive! We do monthly 5ks/10ks, Breakfast and dinner get togethers, and fun events too. We are about to go on our very first KBI cruise in September! So lots to offer to help you be successful through your journey!

Dr Kim performed my sleeve 10/27/14. Best day of my life! I just love this practice. They were very clear on what my BCBS insurance wouldn't cover and gave me options as a self pay patient. They provided me a clear outline of the costs and nothing was ever a surprise for me. They are always eager to answer questions and provide so much encouragement and support. You will love the staff. Dr Kim is a "tell it like it is" kind of guy but I wanted and needed to hear that, no more sugar coating for me. It was time I changed my life. I've lost 120 lbs and only 5 away from goal.

Your going to love Dr. Kim and the team! I had my inverted sleeve one year ago and have lost 128 lbs so far! It has been the best experience of my life!

Hi shrinkmepls! Dr. Kim did my inverted sleeve 11/4/14. I've lost 113 lbs and still losing. You will love him, his staff and his office. I did not use insurance so I don't have much help in that area but indo know the ladies at the office know there stuff and they will take care of you. I do hope you choose Dr. Kim as you're surgeon. It has been nothing but a wonderful experience for me. I have met some amazing people through some of the aftercare benefits they have. And the opportunities KBI has given me as a patient has been a big part of my success. Good luck to you!

I love all the organized events KBI has. It keeps me accountable. So happy I chose Dr Kim

Jess - Dr. Kim really does offer some wonderful aftercare programs. They really help keep me motivated and I've tried new things I never thought I'd do. The events also help you build relationships with other patients. I've made some wonderful friends.

[Shrinkmepls 10]

I decided on true results.
