I got approved. 8/10...and surgery was scheduled for 10/1....I could of gotten it about 2 weeks earlier but due to my husband's schedule at work I needed it on a certain day for him to be able to take the time off...they were very accommodating...I love Tallgrass!!...they have been awesome.

Topic: RE: The Bariatric Center of KC

The Bariatric Center is where I go! I have been to the seminar and first consult with Dr. Hoehn. I have had to call the office many times as I am having some scheduling conflicts with the pre-op tests, psych eval, dietitian, etc... but they are always so helpful and nice. I think anyone there would answer any question I have - stupid or not :) NO WORRIES if you have to switch.

Hi! My dad was a self-pay with Dr. Dunshee @ Tallgrass. His consult was Jan 19th & he had surgery Feb 25th. He's doing great & feeling well. Had VSG & lost around 45 lbs so far.

I have just submitted to insurance this past week. Hope to hear back from them soon.

Good luck. You are going with the right doctor. He's great!

Hi fellow Kansans!

I had a question regarding surgery scheduling for Tallgrass patients. For those who have had your surgery done by a Tallgrass surgeon, how far out after you obtained insurance approval was your surgery scheduled?

Thank you all!

Dr. Kowalski did my sleeve on March 15th. Self pay....whi*****ludes four follow up visits. Everyone I have come in contact with has given me a business card with email so I can ask any questions that arise. I really loved my experience!

I had my Lap Band Surgery with Dr. Kowalski in November. They are great at KC Bariatric. Connie is right, they are very caring and the post-op care is terrific. I hope everything goes well for you!
