Hi, I am doing some research on if anyone has had any experience with doctors in the kansas city region? I am torn right now between Dr. Malley and Dr. Hoehn- any feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks,

I met with Dr. Hoehn's partner, Dr. Kowalski, on Thursday. I really like him. He is real personable and tells it like it is and that's important to me. However, I've decided to go the Mexico route.

Why did you decide to go to Mexico?

I was sleeved by Dr. Malley on July 18th. I really like him. He is pretty liberal post op with the foods you can eat as long as you are progressing which was nice. The office staff are all really nice too. I have not researched other doctors in the area but can say I am happy with my choice.

Hi, I had my surgery with Dr. Malley- (and Dr. Fearing-they are both in there during surgery) on May 2nd- I think he is a really good surgeon- I just really like Dr. Fearing a lot better- she is kind- and really open with discussion- where Dr. Malley really isn't to much- but the office always gets back to ya and work with you every step- I had my surgery at Menorah- and they were all very nice and my stay was good even with my complications (I have severe nausea- I had it before surgery to but had to stay a lot longer in the hospital) and Dr. Malley or Dr. Fearing came by every day to check on me even when they weren't on duty- so that was nice too. I have lost 62lbs so far... but that really isn't due to the dr lol

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
