fill Dr. in Kansas City?



Recommended Posts

The only surgeon I've heard of who takes patients that are not his own is Dr. Malley -- I think he does, anyway. I have no idea what he charges. He advertises on TV all the time, so I'm sure his number is out there somewhere.

Oops, jsut googled "dr malley kansas city" and go this website, ph # included: http://www.malleysurgical.com/

My friend and band sister Kay goes to Dr. Malley and she loves him and his staff - not sure of the price but it seems reasonable - also don't think he uses flouro but she is happy with him. I also think he has a support group that she goes to occassionally. I think you could pm here thru this site - kayford

I don't know if it is to late but Dr. Lopez will do fills. He does not charge the $250.00 new patient charge Malley does. Just the fill. hey said he is only with blue cross. I am pay ing $75,00 to $150. He is sometimes concerned where you were originally.

Yhanks. I called Dr. Malley's office and was told it is $250 for 1st visit even with band already done. Fill extra after that. I had my band done here in the city.

Yes, I would call Dr. Hoehn. He is really nice. I am sure Dr. Malley is a fine doc, but there is a lot of controversy surrounding him. Every bariatric doctor in this area finds his practices to be questionable. With all the controversy, and not knowing what was true and what was not, I decided to steer clear of Dr. Malley.

He used to be a part of a bigger group, but he left because the other docs in his group didn't agree with his practices. I went to two other seminars for docs that were not affiliated with Dr. Malley in any way, and they said the same thing about him. I am not sure what his practices are that has the bariatric community so upset with him. But, like I said, I decided to stay away from it.

The only thing I have heard is that he doesn't teach his patients a healthy lifestyle after surgery. He basically tells them they can eat whatever they want and lose weight. I don't know if this is true or if it has anything to do with the "questionable practices" that the other docs are talking about, but I had initially looked into Dr. Malley and changed my mind.

I am not sure where you are getting you information but you have been "misinformed" about Dr. Malley. He will even ask you how you are doing with NOT DRINKING with a meal? If you stop losing he will try to figure out what is up. I have the senario of really tight and can't eat Breakfast and then loser in the p.m. He even tries to work with me on what will work best. Right now we are creeping up on the perfect fill.

I do know he left a prior practice as he did not go along with some things they wanted to do.....................like charge us more for "fills". He even has patients that drive up from Dallas since he does not overcharge.

He uses fluoro on me each time and does not charge me extra.

I think he is a wonderful bariatric doc!!!

I think if you do some checking on the prior practice,,,,,their office management changed. I think there were some politics with staff and not really with the Physicians.

Dr. Malley rocks.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
