Doc questions
Hi SBJ,
I had surgery with Dr. Kim almost 9 yrs. ago. He's a amazing & very caring surgeon. I'd been obese my entire life & with the "tool" he gave me I successful lost 140 lbs. & I've kept most of it off the almost 9 yrs. since my WLS. He throws a Christmas party every year for ALL his patients & he has a monthly support group for us & we also have a private Facebook support group as well as other chances for support during each month. He's the very BEST IMHO. Good luck in your weight loss journey.
Hugs & blessings --- Vivian
GOD GRANT ME THE SERENITY TO ACCEPT THE THINGS I CAN NOT CHANGE; COURAGE TO CHANGE THE THINGS THAT I CAN; AND THE WISDOM TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE !!!! THIS IS MY DAILY PRAYER.

Dr. Kim did my sleeve 6/24/14 and I also had gallbladder and hiatal hernia repair done at same time. I felt completely confident going into surgery because I knew I had the best surgeon. His staff is fantastic and his patients are the best. The support between patients, new and old, is unbelievable. I would highly recommend Dr. Kim and team.
I had VSG done with Dr Kim/Holden on 7/24/14 and HIGHLY recommend this surgeon and his office. It's been the BEST decision I've ever made for myself, hands down. To date, I am half way to my goal and down 70 lbs. The support group is the most encouraging and genuinely loving group ever! We have a FB support page that is private only to KBI WLS patients. KBI organizes teams to do 5/10Ks/marathons together. We have fun activities like painting and dinner out together with our families. It's like one of the best social groups I have ever been part of! KBI even threw a wonderful Christmas party with door prizes and a gift exchange and they do this every year! For the patients still on liquids or soup, there was a soup bar and a shake bar! For the rest of us there was a really nice dinner with shrimp and roasted turkey breast and pork loin and veggies and salad. So thoughtful! If you want the best of all aspects of WLS, go with Kim Bariatric Institute and you won't be sorry!
