need info on lap band

Can anyone help me with information on lap band surgery? I think I can get it done in Wichita. Has anyone out there had their surgery there?

Hi Sherri! I had my band done by Dr. Jesse Lopez in KC. That was when he was with WTLSC and they are the ones that have an office in Wichita (Dr. L is now in his own office in KC). However, WTLSC only does fills in Wichita, not the procedure itself. Solutions for Life in Wichita is supposed to be doing lap bands starting sometime in early 2007. Dr. Early's group. Sorry I don't know anything about them. I asked for an info packet from them a few months ago for the information, but all they sent me was stuff about RNY, even though I TOLD them I had a lapband. LOL There are also surgeons in Atchison, Topeka, and many more in KC. You might try the link right under the OH logo at the top of the page that says "find a: bariatric surgeon." I think you can search by state. Good luck! If you don't find what you need, feel free to email me and I would be glad to dig up some more info for you! ~Tiffany 266 preop/166 at goal!

Sherry....I was in Kansas City yesterday to see a surgeon. He suggested Dr. Steve Malley to do the lapband. If you go to his web site, you might consider him. I am. He is located in Lenexa, Ks. Good luck.
