Anyone Banded at MISH in Lenexa, Ks



Recommended Posts

My name is Rick. I am 35 yrs old and was banded on April 20, 2010 at MISH or also known as The Institute for Bariatric Surgery. Just wondering how many more of Dr K and Dr S patients are out there.

Dr. K was my surgeon - My surgery date was June 6, 2006. I now live in Colorado Springs (for the past 5 years) and finally got around to finding a new doc here a few weeks ago (I was seriously procrastinating!!).

Never had any problems, but when I went to the new guy, he asked many questions that I had no answers for. Apparently, most people know these things, but no one ever shared any of it with me at MISH. He asked what kind of band I have, how much it holds, how much is in it now, how much was an average fill, etc. I had no idea. He also did my first office fill - at MISH all of them were fluoroscopic. It never occurred to me that I should know all of those things, so I never asked, and no one ever volunteered the information. I would suggest asking questions so you are not in the dark.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
