"I found Dr. Price to be very personable and professional. My husband and I both felt immediately that he was passionate about bariatric surgery. Specifically, that his job was surgically provide a tool and the work was truly up to the patient to \"work the tool\" to be successful. The accountability is on the patient. It is not a \"magical cure\". Very confident, but at the same time approachable. rnrnI actually had heard his community talk twice and a presentation to the hospital medical staff before having my first appointment with him. I am a RN that works in clinical research therefore I came with numerous questions; he willingly answered all questions that we had at the initial appointment, then again at the pre-op visit. The hospital that I work for actually recruited Dr. Price to initiate a Surgical Weight Loss Program. One of the specific reasons for starting the program was for the number of staff and family members that would benefit. Dr. Price’s office manager and nurse clinician moved from Louisiana to Kansas City, MO too. rnrnDr. Price has a specific consent that is separate from the hospital surgical consent that makes sure that you are understand that you will need to:rn• Take Bariatric Vitamins for the rest of your lifern• 25% of daily Protein will need to come from Supplements Post-oprn• Requirements for follow-up visits and lab workrn• That I have received written instructions of post-op lifestyle, dietary changesrn• Monthly attendance to support group meetings is strongly encouraged.rnrnIn general, as far as my pre-op experience has been, I would highly recommend Dr. John Price M.D.rn10/12/07rnNow 2 weeks post op and doing great!! surgery went very well and my recovery was much better than anticipated. I have been walking more than 2 miles a day since 6 days post -op. Had my 2 week post-op visit and all is well. Would highly recommend ths program. "
