Topic: RE: Has anyone tried Depaul or St Alexis
I cannot recommend Dr Van Wagner any higher. He has it all under control. He works thru St Alexius and Jefferson Regional. He, from what I understand, is the surgeon that brought the programs to St Louis. His office staff is amazing. You are assigned a patient advocate from his office at the very beginning and are also assigned a dietician. They all are accessible thru email and phone at anytime and are there to help you with everything. He is also an excellent surgeon. His office is off of Lemay Ferry Road.

He does do the sleeve. Their website is www.kcbariatric.com. There's lots of info on there about the different surgeries and there's also seminar info too. Have a Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year as well!

Thanks for your reply. I am about 3 hours from KC and go there every couple of months so it wouldn't be that bad of a drive. Do you know if he performs the Vertical Gastric sleeve? I was hoping to find someone that would remove my band and do the VGS at the same time.
Hope you have a wonderful Christmas and and Happy New Year.

Hello! I live in the Kansas City metro area. I'm not sure how far you're able to travel, but my doc is Christopher Kowalski at KC Bariatric. He's an excellent doctor and a very kind man and the staff is terrific and very supportive. Their number is 913-677-6319. I had to have my band removed due to reflux issues and am planning to revise to the rny early next year. Best of luck to you!!!

Welcome to KC. I live in KC on the far east side. Actually, Independence is across the street. When we moved here we thought we would have an Independence address. I work downtown. Let me know when you arrive and we can meet.

Topic: Almost there
Well I got the call from the nurses stating that all my paperwork is on Dr. Fullwell's desk. She told me that \I would get the call before the end of the week telling me when my pre-op testing, nutrition class and finally my surgery will be. I have to admit some of my excitement is turning to anxiety. I guess i'm just going through what everybody goes through before their surgery. Hopefully i'll be able to post my surgery date by friday.
