Sedalia MO...Dr Hornbostle



Recommended Posts

I have been on a 1 1/2yr journey here. Was on last pscyh (sp) appt..my insurance was going to pay, then Medicare approved the surgery. Dr wasnt with a CTR OF EXCELLENCE and nowhere in KCMetro was. The search was on. I kept waiting for somewhere here local to be designated. But NO!! So...now I am going for the seminar in Sedalia, that is about a 2 hr drive for me. But I have waited long enough. Am afraid I will die before somewhere in KC is approved. SO my question is,who has used Dr Hornbostle?? Any tips with him and his office, is there anything I can do ahead of time so I can be ready to go? Or does anyone have any inside info of a Dr in the KC area getting approved for Medicare? Thanks so much

I'm in KC and what they just said in my seminar is that "they" are supposed to review the hospitals at the end of the month and so there may be a Center of Excellence in KC in Feb.

      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.
