Hello from Kansas City!!



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone!!

Okay just wanted to take a minute to introduce myself. This site has been a god send for me since I've decided to start down the road for the Lap Band. I've already been to the seminar, and have my first appointment on August 30th. I know I'm going to Self Pay, so no insurance issues to deal with! BCBS of KC is Horrible, BTW. Had to throw that out there.

Any other Kansas City folks banded or going to be Banded? I'm hoping to have my surgery the week of Thanksgiving ( for time off purposes).

I'm a big guy, always have been heck I was 200 lbs at age 12. I'm so looking forward to being 200lb or lower at age 30.

I'm 340-350 now, so I know I've got along way to go, so any advice would be most appreciated!

Looking forward to getting to know everyone!

Kevin

Hi Kevin,

How did your surgery go?

I am having my surgery Wednesday December 29th. I am self pay-so no BCBS either!

There is a group from Kansas City-I am looking for it too.

Best of luck!

Michelle

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
