Hi there. I am also hoping to have RNY. I saw my pcm and got a referal and am now waiting for my consult with the surgon. I live in Wichita but am going to Topeka for my surgery. I see your hubby is Army, mine is Air Force. Have you had any problems with Tricare yet?  Good luck, I bet you are excited, I know I am!!

I had Dr. Bollman do my surgery and I can't say enough great things about him and his staff.  My mother is a nurse and was very impressed by him as well.  He even gave out his home number to call if I had problems right after surgery.  I had to call him at home over the weekend one time and he was great.  I think he really does go that extra mile and I have never felt rushed in my appointments with him - either with all my questions before surgery or after.  I would highly recommend him. 

Hi,  Welcome to Kansas.  Where did you move from???

I had Lap Band in Topeka.  I am so happy with it and I think we are lucky that they are giving people options to help with wt. gain.  Ask away if you have ?????????

I only know of a group in Wichita, KS, and in Ponca City, OK (just over the KS border), but those are probably too far away from you. You may want to post on the Main forum, as more OHers frequent there. Good luck, and let us know what you find out.
Blessings,
Mary

Hi Kari I am Carey I am on my way to having surgery. I have done all my testing/evaluations and have approval from my insurance. I think it would be great to talk with others in the same boat. Look forward to chatting with you more!
