I'm going to Dr. Kowalski at KC Bariatric. So far everyone is great at the office. I'm having my surgery on May 1st. :)

I see Dr. Hamilton, trying to get the band removed by May 31st. Good luck on your surgery. I am assuming you are being banded?

Why are you wanting to have it removed? How were your results?

Dr. Hamilton did an endoscopy two weeks ago and the band had slipped. He told me it had to come out. Let me assure you, you are going to a good clinic. I wish I would have gone there first, rather than the one I went to that did my band. Never once did that clinic ever check it under fluoroscope, had they, I might not have to have it out. I'm one of those patients that "never" had a problem. Had I not switched clinics and Dr. Hamilton not checked it, down the road I would be fighting for my life because this condition could have led to an infection, and at my age it could be dangerous. Just waiting on a date now for removal, but would like it before May 31st as I wouldn't have to meet a deductible as my insurance runs from June 1 to May 31, then we start a new year.

Mine was done at the Weight Loss Surgical Center with Dr. Niazy Selim. Get my fills at KU where he does his surgeries now. He is the head of bariatrics at KU.

I see Dr. Berghoff at North Kansas City Hospital. Surgery is Monday, but love all of his staff who have helped me get to this point!

I am going to be banded June 25th at MISH. I like the hospital.
