I am considering Dr Lancaster in Wichita KS for my gastric sleeve. I'm looking for feedback on what others' experiences have been with him or anyone else in his surgical group.

not to be nosey but are you in Kansas?

Yes, I live in Kansas.

Hi! I would reconsider Dr. Lancaster if I were you. I had my gastric bypass done by Dr. Brown in that same office (Wichita Surgical Specialist) and he was fantastic! I shared a hospital room with a lady that had Lancaster and he seemed to want her to leave after the first night. When Dr. Brown came to check on me he wanted me to stay for two nights as that's what he normally likes for his patients to do. It was nice that he seemed to care about my well being. Dr. Brown also approved me for 3 weeks of recovery time. When I went into the office to get my drain pulled, Brown was out of the office so Landcaster had to pull it. I gave him my return to work paperwork with 3 weeks listed and he about freaked out thinking that was way too long to be off (I could actually hear him say "3WEEKS!!" while I waited for him in the office for my appointment). He originally was going to only give me 2 weeks off while MY doctor wanted 3 weeks. I had to fight to get my 3rd week from Lancaster which wasn't even my surgeon but it seemed like he wanted to flex his muscles a bit while Brown was out of the office. Anyways, sorry for the long post. I am just a little upset that I was stressing about being forced to return to work when I was not physically able to when I should have been relaxing and healing. Brown ultimately approved the 3 weeks and I go back next week so all is good now. My vote is for Dr. Brown.
