Any Missouri people

[KChelper 42]

Hi! I was sleeved in August at Bariatric Center of Kansas City in Lenexa & down 90 lbs. Any KC area people want to get together & talk about our experience?

I am just starting my journey but I feel I will be here often wanting support. I am really excited to see when I will get my sleeve. Anyone one else her self pay? How long did you have to wait? I'm going to Lenexa.

I'm self pay. It took about 6 weeks for me. Dr hoehn is doing mine this Thursday.

[KChelper 42]

I'll be thinking about you on Thursday!

I was self pay also & they scheduled my surgery very quickly, I think within a month to 6 weeks.

Awesome everyone I am in st. Louis also and Dr Van Wagner was my doctor I'm 2.5 months out and down about 65 lbs

I have Dr. Van Wagner too. I'm going in for my one week appointment today. How has it been for you so far? Anything you weren't expecting?

Hoehn will be my Doctor too! My first consultation is tomorrow. Sooooo excited. So ready for this. Mentally preparing and ready for change. I have many questions for the nut already and have made plans for what I need to consider and do. It is so helpful to read others posts and hear about what to expect. I feel ready. Bring on the liquid diet ...proteins and veggies lets go!!! I'm gonna rock this! Anyone else feel this way before WLS? I see a lot worried or having second thoughts, I just wanna get this started and I'm so excited to reset my metabolism and start my journey!

I'm from St. Louis. Dr. Eagon will be doing my surgery Feb 1 at BJ west. I am in the process of getting Vitamins and stocking the pantry. I found a great Protein Shake at the vitamen supplement store. The guys there let you try samples before purchasing. I like strawberry the best. I tried Isopure grape and did not like it at all. I also have orange and passion fruit also but I'm very hesitant to try . Does anyone have a favorite non flavored Protein Powder? Good Luck to Everyone!!!

Chris Eagon I had been trying to go to him at one point in my life. But he had a waiting list 5 yrs long. Then when it was finally my turn I paid cash for all dr visits then my ins. Denied my surgery. That was 10 yrs ago but I heard nothing but good things about him. Goodluck on your new life.
