POST 1.
Hi, I'm in Kansas City also and was curious which doctor did your Fundoplication/lap-band surgey? I had a fundoplication done 12 yrs ago and since then, it has loosened up quite a bit. I'm sure it needs to be fixed or possibly a proceedure like what you had. In fact, just last night I went to the hospital for a lap-band siminar, to meet the doctor that would possibly be doing this proceedure, see slide shows and have discussion afterwards. My main question to him was, can I have the lap-band proceedure if I've had a fundoplication, he quickly answered, "no." I was very taken back by his reaction and concerned because I felt like my hope of weight loss was very quickly gone...continues on next post....

He had told me that the only people he knew of that would perform a weight loss proceedure, for me, in my situation, were two doctors in Columbia, Missouri, a 2 hr. drive away. He also told me that the lap-band would be out of the question, that they'd have to do a gasric bypass instead. The problem is, I don't want such an elaborate surgery, I was even hesitant about the lap-band at first. Not to mention, everytime I need to go to appointment, adjustments and to have the surgery itself, I'd have to drive 2 hrs away, each time, thats rediculous. I guess what I'm getting at here, is I'm hoping to find a doctor in Kansas City area to look at my situation and hopefully perform the surgery for me. This is why I was curious who you had went to and maybe they could help me by doing the fundoplication/lap-band surgery for me as well....continues to next post....

I'd really like to hear back from you. I feel like I have no one to talk to about my situation, then I found your post. I'd love some info on the doctor and what hospital. I'd be most gracious. Thanks for taking time to read this, I appreciate it.
