Anyone Getting Or Been Sleeved In Kansas



Recommended Posts

I know this is going to sound crazy but I received my approval yesterday andI am not sure what to do. I went to insitute for advanced baratrics in Lenexa, KS.

I love the doctors. I am concerned only because they do the surgery their in their own hospital. They only do these surgeries there so their is no emergency services. Thy said they have an ICU. I just don't know.

My surgery was done in KS but not through that practice, so I can't help with feedback on them or their facilities.

I am getting sleeved at Bariatric Center of KC with dr. Kowalski. I am required to be at a center of excellence which is Shawnee mission hospital. I preferred being there since it is a full hospital with a trauma center.

Message me if you have any other questions.

Hello Everyone,

I am new to this forum and have my first consult with Dr. Hoehn at the Bariatric Center on May 16th. I would love to hear feedback from anyone in Kansas City or Northeast Kansas area who has had the VSG? Thanks :)

I've had 4 surgeries with Dr. Hoehn during the last 6 years: band in, GB out, band out, and sleeve. Feel free to send me a message with any questions that you have.

I'm out of olathe ks and am waiting to be sleeved by dr malley. My surgery will be at menorah hospital. I looked into them years ago and decided not to use them for those exact reasons. I then found out later that they have alot of issues with complications, etc. in my opinion I would look elsewhere. Sorry!

Just as an FYI - I had three friends get sleeved by Dr Malley office. They loved him and Dr Fearing just not Menorah Hospital :(

      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.
