Anyone Getting Or Been Sleeved In Kansas

I know this is going to sound crazy but I received my approval yesterday andI am not sure what to do. I went to insitute for advanced baratrics in Lenexa, KS.

I love the doctors. I am concerned only because they do the surgery their in their own hospital. They only do these surgeries there so their is no emergency services. Thy said they have an ICU. I just don't know.

    I'm in Topeka! My surgery is in 19 days with Dr. Hu at the Tallgrass bariatric surgical center here in town! I can't wait!

My surgery was done in KS but not through that practice, so I can't help with feedback on them or their facilities.

I am getting sleeved at Bariatric Center of KC with dr. Kowalski. I am required to be at a center of excellence which is Shawnee mission hospital. I preferred being there since it is a full hospital with a trauma center.

Message me if you have any other questions.

Hello Everyone,

I am new to this forum and have my first consult with Dr. Hoehn at the Bariatric Center on May 16th. I would love to hear feedback from anyone in Kansas City or Northeast Kansas area who has had the VSG? Thanks :)

Im sorry but I do not have any info or feedback about the lenexa center. I went to Mexico. I am shocked at how many kc locals are on the forum. I'm in overland park!

I've had 4 surgeries with Dr. Hoehn during the last 6 years: band in, GB out, band out, and sleeve. Feel free to send me a message with any questions that you have.

Dr Hoehn is GREAT!

I'm out of olathe ks and am waiting to be sleeved by dr malley. My surgery will be at menorah hospital. I looked into them years ago and decided not to use them for those exact reasons. I then found out later that they have alot of issues with complications, etc. in my opinion I would look elsewhere. Sorry!

Just as an FYI - I had three friends get sleeved by Dr Malley office. They loved him and Dr Fearing just not Menorah Hospital :(
