Any Midwesterners Familiar With Iabs ?



Recommended Posts

I'm researching the weight loss surgical centers in the Kansas City, Mo. area. I am considering the Institute for Advanced Bariatric Sugery. Had anyone had any experience with IABS ? I'd really appreciate any info or advice anyone has to offer. There are so many weight loss surgical centers out there it's hard to know which is best. Thanks so much.

I have to drive an hour to my doc, U of Minnesota. I think it is worthwhile, you are smart to find the best.

The hospital is actually called MISH (Minimally invasive surgical hospital), but it is the same place. I had mine done there in April and have been very happy with my progress so far.

The doctors are great (though they never run on time) and I'd be glad to answer any questions you may have!

Thanks so much for the info, it's good to hear. I have my seminar scheduled for June 23 and can't wait to get going !! After 42 years of dieting I've finally admitted defeat, and I'm ready for some serious help. I appreciate having all the support that I see here.

      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?
