"It is so funny how this process works, I have been working the process for almost nine months and finally on September 2, 2008 met Dr. Hoehn face to face! I had viewed the video on The Bariatric Center of Kansas City site a few times. Oh, you know the video of an actual surgery. I also had seen Dr. Hoehn at the seminar back in January so I kinda felt like I had met him before. But in the doctors office he really look young (means his education is up to date, right?) but he was a professional in every way. On a lighter note he is pretty easy on the eyes too! LOL. I was so excited just to be there for the first time that I really couldn't think of any questions at the time. I am so sure that I made the right choice in choosing my doctor. His surgery stats are most impressive. My impression of Dr. Hoehn continues to grow everyday. His office staff is very friendly and make you feel like you are one of the gang from the first meeting. Dr. Hoehn has a great program, it is very structured from the very first seminar to after care. The only thing that caught my attention is that my paperwork had someone else's test of sorts in it because on 2 seperate occasions there was confusion about which surgery I wanted. Dr. Hoehn laughed and assured me they would not do the wrong surgery. LOL. I initially chose the Bariatric Center because they are a Center of Excellence which says tons all by itself. I will meet with Dr. Hoehn again October 20th and will update at that time. rnProgress Updates: rn rnrnrn"
