Just curious how many people on here are in the Kansas City area? =)

I have had my first appointment with Dr Hoehn last month. On Jan 7th I go for psych eval and pre-op education class. =)

I live in Olathe. My surgery was 12/26. Dr is Hamilton from KC bariatric.

I'm just waiting for my insurance to approve, then I'll be having my surgery with Dr. Hoehn!

I was sleeved on 12/26 by Dr Kowalski. I was self pay so the process took about 45 days. I am one week out and down 15 pounds since surgery. 24 pounds down since my first visit with Kowalski. Love my sleeve

I was sleeved on 12/26....same as you! I think we met in recovery and then on a 2:00am walk in the hall! My name is Nancy.....

I wish you had met me because i had been sleeved on December 26!!! I go on January 10.....so excited and ready. How are you doing so far?

I am using insurance. I was denied at first, but approved second time around. I'm going with the bariatric program at Wesley. My surgeon is Nicholas Brown. His office is actually at Via Christi St Francis, but he does the bariatrics for Wesley too. My surgery is Feb 4! It's soooo nice to find a fellow Wichita friend

I'm doing really well. Very little pain. Zero gas issues. The key is walking. I am learning that small bites are much easier to handle Have a positive attitude and you will be fine. Good luck!

I am almost 3 weeks out and down about 31 pounds. Just now adding things to my diet. I still have panic attacks like "what have I done" but over all very happy. I think I will be fine when I can get around better, have more energy and start working out.

We could start a support group for us that live in the kC area.

I'd be all for a support meeting somewhere local. I am only 5 days out. Still pretty uncomfortable and having my moments of regret also. I

Dr. Hoen's office has a support group once a month. The next one is Feb 7th 3:30-5:00. Then in March they will have one from 6:00-7:30. I dont have the March date. But every other month they alternate the times. Here is the phone number if you need to call them 913-677-6319.

If you want I can try and arrange times we can meet to chat. Let me know....
