There are a lot of great gastric band docs in the KC area. I've told that we have a very high percentage of band-vs-bypass compared to the rest of the country.

At Weight Loss Surgical Center, we have four staff surgeons, who are all great surgeons. We also have an amazing support staff that frees them up to do more surgeries while the support staff focuses on the long-term weight loss. We also have seven clinics in the Midwest, with two in the metro area.

If you're on the Missouri side, consider our Independence Center location, which has a very helpful staff and even has some evening and weekend hours available.

^^^To the above;

Could you give me more info about your business. I know it sounds biased, but after finding out the Weight Loss Surgical Center in Indepence was located in a mall I kind of crossed it off my list. Why did Weight Loss Surgical Center choose to open up an office in a mall?

Maybe I'm too picky, but I can't imagine going to a mall to have a surgery performed on me. Is that the case or are the surgeries performed somewhere else?

We don't do the surgeries in the mall, it's a screening and post-care fill clinic. The surgeries are all performed at our specialty bariatric hospital in Overland Park. With the band, you'll have to do a lot of follow-up for best results.

We wanted a clinic on the Missouri side where you can get follow-up care closer to home with more convenient hours, and the mall allows us flexibility to see patients some evenings and weekends.

In our Independence Center clinic, Lisa and her staff are very good at what they do, and you won't have to drive all the way to Overland Park for all the follow-up care.
