Has anyone used this surgeon, Niazy Selim? Can you give me any information about him and about having the surgery at KU Hospital? Thanks a bunch.
Topic: RE: What do I do?????
You might definitely check into my surgeon's office and see if your insurance works there because it's a GREAT GREAT facility and is a Center of Excellence. They also have an excellent surgery schedule. She does actual surgeries EVERY Monday & Tuesday then the rest of the week is open for consultations, office visits & fills, etc. Here's the link to her website....if you attend a Seminar or have a consultation tell them Helana sent you !!!!

Dr. Hoehn is my surgeon and I think he is the greatest. He is located at Shawnee Mission Medical Center. You will need to attend one of their seminars and you can register at the following website: http://www.kcbariatric.com . I think you will find that it will take some time to get a date for surgery with Dr. Hoehn because there are program requirements to meet before a date can be set. You will find out more about the requirements at the seminar.
Good luck.

Topic: What do I do?????
So my Blue Cross Blue Sheild of Kansas City approved the Lap-Band. I got the letter and I was SOOOOO excited and happy and releived. Then I called Dr. Malley's office to schedule my surgery and the 1st avaliable is JULY 24th...... What?? HUH?? He performs only 4 a month at Menorah where I have to go because of my insurance. So, even though I like Dr. Malley, I cant wait that long. So Dr. Hoehn, Dr. Opie, and Dr. Lopez all take my insurance, but I dont know when they can get me in any ideas or similar situations? Who is best? Where do they operate?

Topic: RE: Loans for procedures
There are a few (I think) that are geared towards loans for medical purposes. Sorry I can't think of one, you may post this to the main board, you would prolly get good info there.
I'm in Topeka too by the way. Dr. Steward at Tallgrass did my RNY in 2004.
