From a Satisfied Patient - Hurst, TX
I did my research on all the different options, and the sleeve seemed the best procedure for me. I was miserable at 300 and 4'10 I could not walk I had just had my first knee surgery. I felt like I was going to die. I had to much to live for. So something had to change so I started looking into all I could do and who was going to do it. I found dr Kim and started with the consultation and what all I was in for. It was the best choice. I was going to live. I went in to the hospital

A Special Doctor - Dalworthington Gardens, TX
My experiences with Kim Bariatric have been only positive. I cannot think of being disappointed one time. It's impressive how orgainized, professional and smoothly this institution runs. I have not had any glitches. The results have been nothing short of amazing. I remember being overweight most of my life and unable to successfully lose weight until the sleeve. Totally worth every stitch and initial surgical discomfort, which of course is short lived.

Great Experience - Colleyville, TX
I decided to follow EXACTLY what doctor Kim said and his staff and read the Manuel's 2 to 3 times and when I did I have had NO complications none whatsoever. Even after my surgery I was in very little pain which stun the nurses. And in 10 months I am down 119 pounds. The staff is great and know their stuff. AWESOME!!!

I am so happy that I finally moved forward with it and I would certainly recommend Dr. Kim to anyone who is considering weight loss surgery.

Amazing Health Benefits of WLS - Colleyville, TX
I was sleeved on 2/08/2010 by Dr Kim. Having WLS was something I never thought I would do. I kept telling myself I could lose the weight without surgical intervention. I would lose a few lbs here and there but always gained it back along with a few friends. My life changing moment came after I was diagnosed with Diabetes, Sleep Apnea, Rheumatoid Arthritis and High Blood Pressure within 4 months. When my family doctor told me if I didnt lose weight and keep it off I would be dead

Hi everyone. I recently joined and have been very encouraged by all the stories of success. I'm in day 5 of the pre-surgery liquid diet and I have to say it is challenging. More so mentally than physically at this point. Day's 1-3 were physically hard, I was very hungry but the emotional battle to not think about food was tough. I'm not having hunger pains anymore, but I still WANT a cheeseburger :) I've lost 10lbs so far, kinda disappointed I didn't lose anything yesterday
