Topic: RE: new VSG in Southeast KS - patient of Dr. Hoehn!
I recall from the past here on the KS forum a member named marylaw who ran a support group in Winfield. She has a VSG like yourself. I think her surgeon is from OK, though. I think the group disbanded due to lack of attenders. On page three of this forum's past threads, I found one of her posts about it. http://www.obesityhelp.com/forums/KS/4096360/January-Support -Group-Meeting/ Here is her proflile page http://www.obesityhelp.com/member/marylaw
. You can private message her to talk, and maybe even meet in real life.

Topic: new VSG in Southeast KS - patient of Dr. Hoehn!
It doesn't look like this forum is very active but I thought I'd say "Hi" to all the other Kansans out there! I live in Southeast KS & I used Dr. Hoehn of Bariatric Center of KC for my VSG on 2/16/12. Since I'm so far from my surgeon, I don't belong to a support group & I'm using OH as my support system!
Topic: Anyone in the KC area?
Hi my name is Kayla. I had Gastric Bypass 12/19/11 and was wondering if there was anyone around the KC area that was wanting someone to walk or work out with? I would like getting to know and meeting new people that are going through or have gone through some of the same things I have.
Topic: LGBT forum invitation
Hello,
I just wanted to let people know and anyt there is a forum for the community and anyone who is friendly and want to stop by. I was very active 3 years ago and would like to see it become active again. It is listed under "weight loss related"
I am not attempting to offend anyone. I understand that some might not agree with me posting. I am doing it to help LGBT people. Everyone has the right to not agree. I respect that.
Thank You !

Hi Micah,
I am from Olathe, KS...which is really close to Overland Park. I just had VSG with Dr.Stanely Hoehn at KC Bariatrics. They have a support group there but it meets at around 3:30 I think. I can not go to that because I can not leave work every week early. I am looking for some support as well. Let me know if you find one that works for you... I might like to go as well!

Thank you! I will look into those when I get home (which I can't wait to do, by the way!) and see if I'm allowed to attend. Not sure how that whole situation works :)
Thanks again!

I am in KC area on the MO side
I know there are several places but I cannot speak to how good they are, I know they have one at Shawnee Mission Medical Center and one at St Lukes. I have heard good things about both but never attended. Good luck on your search! (Im sure there are more I just do not know about them)
