Dr. Jesse Lopez

[drcollier 0]

I just wanted to let anyone in Missouri that is looking for a doctor that I used Dr. Jesse Lopez in Lenexa, Kansas. I had surgery the 7th of november and everything went excellent. The surgery center he used is by far the best medical establishment I have been to. If you need info just message me.

Where was your surgery performed? Have you heard of a Dr Saline or Salinas? I called Dr Lopez's office they mentioned this other doctor.

My surgery was performed in Overland Park, Kansas. I have never heard of the doctor you have mentioned but as a word of warning- if I were you I would try to avoid Midwest Institute of Bariatric Surgery or I think they go buy Surigical Weight Loss Center in Lenexa at all costs.

I have to whole-heartedly agree w/ Debra! Go ANYWHERE except for MWIBS/WLSC!!!!!!!!!!

Dr. Lopez did my surgery in January and the pre/post care has been exceptional! His staff is the best you could ever expect, plus some. I'm not going monthly now as we found out we're expecting a little suprise in a few months......but they still call to check on me!!!! They have been so good to me!!

Good Luck!

Thanks for the reply. I guess I was a little confused because I went to a MWIBS (Weight Loss Surgical Center) informational meeting back in January 2006, and the card I have with the packet has Dr Lopez's name on it. I have since found out that Dr Lopez is no longer with MWIBS . I am scheduled for a consultation Monday July 3 there. I was going to be referred to a Dr Selim. I think I will cancel until I get more info.

I am so glad that i came across this message board! I can't tell you all how grateful I am for your help. I really want the lap band, but I want to be as informed as I can possibly be.

So Dr Lopez left? Isn't this the group that Dr Malley left also? Now I am really confused as to where to go. I have United Health Care. My specific policy does not pay any out of network benefits at all, so I am trying to find someone who is in-network, and whose hospital is in-net work also, if at all possible.

But I am definitely going to heed the warnings to not go to MWIBS. Can anyone tell me what the problem is with them?

Sherry,

Give me a call.....Dr. Lopez called me today and i will tell you what I know.

May I find out what you know also? I posted my question on the board, but it might not be a good idea to post certain things of a sensitive nature. My email address is drcollier@kc.rr.com just in case you feel like going thru it again. I realize you were discussing these things over 6 months ago, so I'll understand if you are no longer in the mood to talk about MWIBS. I went to an informational meeting in january 2006, and am just now taking steps to get the lap band done this summer.

Fran,

I am also UHC. Dr Lopez is in-network for them and the hospital that he does surgery is is out-of-network...BUT:D ...they take whatever the insurance pays as what it would be as though it was in-network because they want you to be able to use their facility....which is exceptional BTW.

Dr lopez can be reached at 913-649-7300, just ask to speak to Ginger.

Good Luck!

I'm not shy and will tell you anything you'd like to know. I agree it's very sensitive and shouldn't probably be discussed in the forums. Please see the private message I am sending to you!

And don't give up on getting your band!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I used Dr. Lopez when he was with Midwest and I stayed there because I

already paid inadvanced for my fills.

I think that I am going to switch to Dr. Lopez now that my year is up.

[drcollier 0]

How were you treated at Midwest? Did the staff treat you well? Are they competent? What are your impressions of that place?

Thanks.

[drcollier 0]

You might have gotten my question already but I am not sure. Were you treated well at Midwest? And what are your impressions of them? I am scheduled to have a consultation there very soon. Thanks.

I was very happy with the treatment from Dr. Lopez and the Spine and Specialty hospital was the best care I have ever received any where.
