BMI, or body mass index, is a system of measurement that helps a patient figure out how overweight he or she is. A BMI of 20 to 25 is considered normal. 25 to 30 is considered overweight. 30.1 to 34.9 is considered obese. You are a candidate for weight loss surgery if your BMI is 40 or greater or if you have a BMI between 35 and 39.9 along with a serious health problem.
"I thought I was a pretty happy fat person. Hiding behind my jokes and laughter, I did not know how much my weight controlled my life. I never knew what true happiness was until I had my surgery. Some people don't like to tell people when they have had weight loss surgery but I tell everyone because I feel everyone deserves to be this happy!"

Texas Lap Band Surgery Patient Testimonial Dr. David Kim
By admin on January 16, 2008 at 4:05 pm
DEBBIE: Hi, I’m Debbie, and the defining moment that I decided to have the lap band surgery was when I had a heart attack, and had gained about 100 extra pounds, and decided I wanted to see my grandkids grow up. I’ve recommended several friends and church members to come here, and I have two friends right now that are waiting to have the surgery done. It’s really neat when you run into someone you haven’t seen in six months or so, and I’ve had people not even recognize me when they walk up to me. And my next door neighbor has just decided to have the surgery done because she said she’s just seen such a change in me. My family members are really excited because they know it was so much better for my health because my health had gotten really bad, and they’re just real happy for me. As a matter of fact, my brother-in-law, who’s 68 years old, just had the surgery done and he’s doing really well.
Dr. Kim’s staff is wonderful. When you come in for a visit with them they make you feel like you’re part of their family, and when you lose weight it’s like they’ve lost it with you. They get just as excited as you do.
The most significant change for me with my weight loss has been being able to exercise or walk, do things with my grandkids, just enjoy life. So I’m doing something I’ve wanted to do all my life which is sing on stage, and I’m doing that, so it’s really built my confidence a lot. [Singing]
