Seeing Dr. D. Kim Friday-VSG

I am meeting with Dr. Kim Friday. I was really wanting RNY but he suggested the sleeve. I am going to talk to him about it. I'm still on schedule for June. I have been trying to do research on VSG.  How do you like your VSG?

All I can say is..Listen to Dr Kim!  I had wanted a RNY and he suggested a lap-band and I am so glad he did.  My stomach was not healthy enough for a RNY and I would be in a world of hurt right now if I had pushed it.  Also, Dr Kim, I think, is doing less and less RNY surgeries because he perfers the lap band and VSG.  Not that there is anything worng with the RNY, I just think that is what he perfers to do.  I could be wrong...

He is a terrific surgon and you are in great hands.  He has been doing this for so long he knows exactly what your needs are.  Good luck and keep us posted!

Hon....go to the VSG Messageboard and ask them about the sleeve.   Not that their isn't sleevers that are on the TMB....but the TMB is usually very dead on the weekend and trust me....this will be worse than normal because most of the people are at the RYD in Galveston living it up.   Darn....wish I was there.   LOL   But anyway like Amanda said ....Dr. Kim  is a great doctor with lots and lots of experience and trust me....you will do wonderful with the sleeve.   I would NEVER steer anyone wrong or lie to them!!!   If you don't know how to get to the sleeve MB....PM me and I will tell you how to get there.
