KC area surgeons



Recommended Posts

I am considering being banded. How do I go about finding the reputations of the local surgeons here in the KC area?

I have read most of the posts and it seems that a lot of you have choosed Dr. Malley. Why him over everyone else? How are his rates compared to other Dr.'s?

Are there any Dr's to avoid like the plague?

I am going to be banded by Dr. Hoehn with SMMC on May 6th. I have heard great things about Dr. Malley. I don't think you could go wrong with either Dr. I have been researching the band since 05 and was going to go with Malley but my insurance wouldn't cover the band at that time. I think if you go to obesityhelp.com and so a search you can find testamonials for both doc's.

I was banded by Dr. Hoehn on march 29th and couldn't be happier with the whole experience! Everyone throughout the whole process has been exceptional and I see his P.A. Tim for my fills and he is wonderful too!

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
