Fills in Kansas City... or the area!



Recommended Posts

Ah I’m so frustrated I just called Dr. Malleys office in Mission KS (Kansas City) and I was told that I couldn’t get in for my first fill until JUNE!!! I will DIE if I wait that long. I can already feel that my swelling from my surgery is dying down, and I will soon begin my “Bandster’s Hell!” I was banded on 02/14/08! Any suggestions out there on other KC doc’s… I was set on Dr. Malley! (Fyi I was banded in Mexico)

Try Dr. Selim out of KU Medical Center/ he is also affiliated w/ WTLSC in Overland Park!

You could go to the WLSC at Overland Park, they do other Dr. Fills. My surgeon is Dr. Selim. He works out of the clinic as well as his office at KU MED. located in the hospital.

The WLSC said they do alot of fills on people who were banded in Mexico. Thier # is 913-541-0230

Dr. Selims office # 913-588-1489.

I have had fills both places. If you have to pay cash the weight loss center is cheaper. But Dr. Selim is really good if you have insurance.

You might want to give them a call and see if it will be a good match for you. I can tell you Dr. Selim only gives fills on Thursday mornings, and there might be a wait. I am sure you will be able to get into the clinic much sooner if you just call them up and tell them that you were banded in Mexico.

I was told to get a fill at 6 weeks out. So I am not sure why they dont want you to get a fill for so long.

      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.
