Topic: RE: Impressed with Bariatric Surgery Center of KC/Shawnee Mission
Good for you.. Dr. Hoehn and their team are great. I was orginally going with a Dr. Opie but after the care he gave my husband with his gallbladder, no way. Then I went to the seminar and what a difference. you actually see a Dr. spending his time with a bunch of people free of charge answering any questions they have and right there tells you that you are in the right place. I hope you can get all your appointments in and have a great day for changing the rest of your life.

Thanks for the information.  Dr. Hamilton does seem like a very warm person he doesn't seem like your typical surgeon very nice guy.

I had my surgery at Tallgrass but Dr. Hamilton wasn't practicing there at that time (Dr. Steward did my WLS). Dr. H did a few surgeries on my father, he is a great surgeon and a funny guy to boot. He likes to sing to his patients!!! In all seriousness though, you will be in good hands!

Hi to everyone: This board doesn't seem to get a lot of hits compared to the  other boards but  since it is the Kansas board I thought  I would send out a question.  I am in the pre-op stages waiting for insurance approval to have Lap-Band surgery at Tallgrass with Dr. Hamilton.  Was just wondering if anyone else has had surgery with this doctor and what your thoughts were.   Thanks for any info.

Hi Leah,  I'm sorry you had to move to KS in the middle of the freaking Summer! I love our Springs and Falls, it just so dang hot right now! I live in Southeast Kansas, so that's not very near you at all. My surgeon is in Shawnee Mission which is up around Kansas City. I'm sure that you can find a good clinic closer to you though. If your interested in more info about my clinic PM me and I'll pass along the info. I think several people use the Tall Grass place in Topeka though. Hopefully some of them will pass on the info to you.0 Well, welcome to Kansas and I hope your enjoying yourself so far!

Leah, Welcome to Kansas. There are several support groups around the state. Solutions for Life has one in Wichita, and I think there is one in Topeka and Manhattan. I looks like there are others getting one started in Wichita as well. We have two surgeons in Wichita, Drs Dort and Lancaster. Both are with Wichita Surgicial Specialist.  Others on this site should be able to provide you with more information about others.  Again Welcome to the area and best wishes. Mike

Life is a journey, don't waste the trip.

Howdy Neighbor! I live in Hutch! As for surgeons in this area, I don't know. I had to have surgery in Columbia, MO due to insurance requirements. Anyway, a friend had surgery last year with a dr in the Tallgrass group in Topeka, but I know there are some surgeons in Wichita, so maybe the folks in Wichita can fill you in. As for support group, someone was trying to get one started in Wichita, but I have not heard. I also was told there is one here, but cannot find it yet! I would love to go! I will let you know if I find it! Take care, and welcome to the neighborhood! LaNeta
