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!

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!

I had my Lap Band surgery there 2 1/2 years ago and trust me when I say you have no worries if you do need to change. Their practice is as far from a 'chop-chop style' as possible. They pride themselves in excellent post-op care and support groups. Dr. Hoehn and Dr. Kowalski are very caring and have excellent surgery numbers. And they are a Center of Excellence which is not an easy acomplishemnt/rating.
I hope you won't have to change cause it will cause a delay of course. But if you do I can highly recommend either surgeon at Bariatric Center of KC. Feel free to email me any questions you might have I will gladly help in anyway.
Good luck,
Connie
