Dr. Kaniewski and the Institute for Bariatric Surgery

my husband and i are interested in the DS procedure. Dr. Kaniewski is the closest place that performs this procedure but she has only performed 6 at this time. Does anyone out there know of a former patient or story of her with regards to this specific procedure?

Hi my name is Joy Hopkins and a patient of Dr. Kaniewski. I had the lap band done May 8 and have lost 107 pounds with 60ish more to go. I love this hospital and the doctors. I started a Patient led support group monthly and they also provide a nutritionalist and psyc class monthly for everyone. They are truely invested in you. Sorry it took so long to see your post. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to call me 816-734-2380. Joy Hopkins

Can't help with the DS. But I too am a Dr. K. patient. I had gastric bypass May 11. I have lost 118 pounds. Have about 27 more to go. I am very happy with the Dr. and the clinic.

Ok, silly question...what is the DS procedure? I also had the lap band by Dr. K. I had the procedure done Dec 12th. Dr K and her staff were very informative and helpful. Debbie
