I was in the process of getting ready for lapband surgery earlier this year at Shawnee Msn Hosp by Dr Stanley Hoehn. Then Medicare made their ruling and they are my primary insurance. Everyone at that office was very nice.

I'm being banded in Monterrey by Dr. Rumbaut on 8-17 - Hooray!!! He refers to Dr. Steven Malley for follow-up and fills and are very pleased with him. I think he's in Lenexa or at least on the Kansas side somewhere. I don't know him yet but understand from postings I've read that he's very kind and does an excellent job.

I'm sure if you inquired specifically about him on this site you could get some information. Good luck with your search and your surgery!

There is a facility in Topeka... TallGrass. it is a bit far but the price is comparible to Mexico, I've decided to forgo Mexico and start the process there as I will be a self pay. And at least if god forbid there are any problems, it is somewhat local, and I'm not out $400-500 in airfare. There are four physicians working there, all of which seem pretty good. Matter of fact I believe it was Fox4 that did the initial newscast on it that Peaked my interest.

Good Luck!

If you are insured... Dr. Hoehn is super nice, and his staff is just awesome. he is in the Shawnee Mission area. I have heard good things about Dr. Malley too.

I was banded by Dr. Hoehn at SMMC. There are threads for KS and MO, you may want to ask your question there, you'll probably get a more focused audience.

      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.
