Topic: Hey there Kansas...let's fire up a bit
It has been a bit quiet over here on the Kansas messageboard. Certainly there has to be some people who are checking in here and planning to have surgery. I'm closing in on my goal and now my dear wife is going to have her RNY in a few days...also with Dr. Steward. I'd like to also invite you to take a couple of minutes to see my video journey of the past year. I kept it short and sweet for you... John

Topic: RE: I JUST WANT TO CRYYYYY
I had to do a 3 month diet and exercise plan but I knew that before starting the process.  Seems kind of silly since you're needing WLS.  I was told they want to see that you have the determination to stick with a plan.  I didn't have to lose any weight but I lose a few pounds. Your doctor should have know what your insurance required. I know it seems like an eternity but the time passes more quickly than you think.  I did South Beach. Good luck!! Jo

I am considering going to Mexico for DS surgery.  Have any of you used him or know of anyone who has? I'd appreciate any information you have. Thanks.

Topic: RE: Can you recommend a Topeka Psychologist not on the Tall Grass list?
I went to Dr. Andrew Schauer.  He is located at St. Francis Hospital in Topeka Ks.  I only had to see him twice before he approved me.  Just call 785-295-8000 and as to be connected to him.  Good Luck!

Topic: Those looking at DS
I had my 4 yr follow up with my surgeon on Friday and he let me know that Tallgrass has now been doing the DS, for about 9 mos now. They are doing it Lap as well. Just wanted to get the word out.

I saw Mary Ann Abbot at New Beginings.  She's great but don't expect a quickie evaluation.  I had to go for 4-5 sessions before she gave her blessings.   Becca
