Need friend in Kansas City

[TheGh0st 9]

Hey there Jessica!

Where are you getting banded?

There is an area wide group called KCBandsters that's next meeting is on August 11th at the Antioch Library on SM Parkway and Antioch at 6:45-8pm. It is a non-doc specific group with around 12-20 people each month. Ranging from pre-op to 7+ years post-op.

Most docs also have their own support groups. Some of them are open to patients like Doctor Malley's others are closed to only there own patients like Dr. Hoehn/Hitchcock.

I'm getting banded with Dr. Lopez at the Kansas City Spine and Specialty Center.

Found this link below to his website.

Dr. Jesse J. Lopez, Jr.

I was banded by Hoehn but I actually use to attend Lopez' support group meetings as well. For a while there I was attending around 3 different groups a month. (Great excuse to get out of the house and leave the toddler with the DH) They meet the second Teusday of each month at the surgery center.

I also had my surgery there (albeit with a different doc) it was a great facility.
