Fills in Kansas City... or the area!

cmcginnis8 · February 28, 2008

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.
