Anyone from the Middle of the beltbuckle? I am in Olathe KS now but have lived in Springfield Mo, Hannibal Mo, Dearborn MO, and would love to meet some people locally to chat with.:001_wub:

Hi Norma:

I'm in Overland Park, and my surgery date is July 21st. Dr. Stan Hoehn is my surgeon, and I'm having the procedure at Heartland Spine Hospital.

How are you doing a year out from your procedure?

:biggrin0:Hi Norma and Kansas,

Yes, I'm in KC, MO and my surgeon is Dr. Hoehn at KC Bariatric Center. I loved Dr. Hoehn! (He's my hero now, LOL). I had my surgery at Hearland Spine and Speciality Hospital. Kansas you are in good hands!

Hi all,

I am 7 1/2 months out and have had kidney stones surgery and full right knee replacement surgery since my sleeve surgery, both of which kept me out of the gym for awhile. However, I have lost about 97 lbs and am wearing 18 slacks and xl shirts. My knee is healing and so I have been doing cardio 6 days a week for the last 5 weeks. No issues with food other than rice expands too much in my stomach and bread is too filling. I feel great and my diabetes is much improved.

Howdy! I'm from the Branson area. Dr. Hoehn from KC did my surgery in April.

Hi everyone! I am from Kansas, and am going to be sleeved on the 15th of this month - can't wait!!!:blushing:

Hello........ Merriam KS is in the house. I know Kansas1973 and SarahD. Also I just recently contacted Norma. Hello JackiezMom and KathyM. My surgeon is also Dr. Hoehn. He's a little hottie. (LOL). As of Thursday I have finished all of my requirements, so Dr. Hoehn's office should be submitting the paperwork to my insurance anyday. I'm hoping for a early to mid August surgery date. Let's hope we all get what we deserve. GOOD HEALTH AND A SLAMMING BODY. Lol.

I'm in st Joseph, mo. Had surgery august 16, had dr. Price at st lukes hospital in kcmo.

I am calling Monday to make an appt with Dr. Hoehn. I had VBG back in 1998 and had fairly good success the first year, but there was very little after support and the weight never really stayed off. I had to get a copy of my surgical report so he could see if I would be a surgical candidate or not and I just got that this past week. It would seem from others on this board that I should be able to have the sleeve, but then that will depend on if insurance will pay for it.

Did any of you who used Dr. Hoehn do a self pay? If so, do you mind sharing what he charged?

Just had my sleeve done Dec 27th with Dr. Sorenson. It certainly is a learn-as-you-go process!

Shawnee here. I'm have been researching and am trying to plan surgery. I went to Dr. Hoehn's seminar last night. He's having a sleeve special for self pays $11,999 at Shawnee Mission Hospital. I really like what I heard from him and he and his partner are very nice.

He's probably fine for virgin surgeries, but has little experience with revisions. Their office also is more geared for getting through as many people as possible, like assembly lines IMO.

Well mine is a virgin. I have been very happy with him and his office staff so far but I am very very early in the process

I am from Kansas City, KS. Going through the process at KU Med. I hope to be sleeved by the spring.

I ended up going to Tijuana, Mexico and having Dr. Kelly do my surgery. Best decision I've ever made. I love the doctor and I couldn't beat the price.

Do you mind if I ask why you changed and went to Mexico?
