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.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
