As an experienced bariatric surgeon, and one who understands the many physical and emotional effects morbid obesity can cause, I have devoted my career to helping people fight the battle and live healthier, happier lives. At the Kim Bariatric Institute, I offer comprehensive weight loss surgery programs designed to help patients lose weight and keep it off. Our programs include access to support groups, counselors, nutritionists, and an experienced bariatric surgery team who are all committed to ensuring your success. I have performed thousands of procedures, and I offer all major types of weight loss surgery, including LAP-BAND® Adjustable Gastric Banding, gastric sleeve surgery, gastric bypass surgery, and weight loss surgery revision. I also developed a new technique for vertical sleeve gastrectomy surgery, called the David Kim Inverted Gastric Sleeve™, that provides even greater benefits for patients undergoing this advanced procedure.

My goal is to help you fight morbid obesity and reduce risks to your health. With state-of-the-art procedures, a skilled and experienced surgeon, and a commitment to success, the Kim Bariatric Institute can help you every step of the way on your journey to a healthier life. I encourage you to contact us today for more information, or to schedule a consultation.
