Anyone Getting Or Been Sleeved In Kansas



Recommended Posts

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.

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 :)

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.

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 :(

      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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
