KC Bariatric has been in practice since 2002, providing weight loss surgery care to thousands of patients in the metropolitan Kansas City and surrounding mid-west areas. We provide patient education, full preoperative evaluation of each patient's mental and physical health, coordination of care, assistance with insurance issues, and post-operative support groups in order to help ensure the safety

and success of our patients. Weight loss surgery is not cosmetic surgery, nor does it actually "remove" a patient's excess weight. It is a TOOL that assists in weight loss and weight maintenance for patients who are 100 or more pounds overweight and who have failed weight loss through traditional dietary and behavior modifications. If you or someone you love is obese, you know how difficult life can be. Excess weight impacts your health, your self-esteem, and your relationships. People with obesity are at greater risk for serious health conditions such as high blood pressure, sleep apnea, and diabetes. When diet and exercise aren't working, it may seem like there is no hope. At KC Bariatric, we specialize in providing alternatives for the care and treatment of obesity and its related co-morbidities in the forms of Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass and LapBand Gastric Banding Surgeries. If you are considering the decision to undergo weight loss surgery, you'll want to educate yourself on these life-changing procedures. We are here to answer all of your questions and to determine if you are a candidate for surgery through our program.

"I tried to lose weight for years and years, buying and trying every program under the sun. I would lose 30–40 pounds, then gain it all back - plus more - every time. I eventually developed a colon disease, went septic twice, needed a colectomy, and became insulin resistant. I also had high blood pressure and high cholesterol. It felt like everything was working against my body, and I just couldn’t get healthy on my own.
On February 14, 2023, I reached out to my friend Bambra at KC Bariatrics and asked her to check my insurance and set up an appointment. My surgery was finally scheduled for May 29, 2024, with Dr. Hamilton.
I’m now just over one year post-RNY and am the healthiest I’ve been since my teenage years. I’m down 120 pounds overall! I no longer have any health concerns, I’m off almost all of my prescriptions, and I can now ride amusement park rides with my kids—rides I once had to walk away from because I didn’t fit. I can get on the floor and play at recess with my students. I can walk for miles at Silver Dollar City without getting winded.
All of those things mean so much—so much more than any number on the scale. I’m beyond thankful for the guiding hands of Dr. Hamilton and the entire team at KC Bariatrics for helping me live my best life. I turn 40 in October and can’t wait to fully embrace my 40s and all the fun that comes with this second chance at life."

"I started this journey in December of 2019 and had my bypass surgery on July 20, 2020, with Dr. Hoehn. This is an amazing tool! My starting weight was 337 lbs, and my current weight is 190 lbs. Not quite at my goal yet, but this is a work in progress. I feel amazing. I encourage anyone considering this to attend a seminar—it will help with any doubts you have."
- Nadine

Nadine lost over 140 lbs and continues making progress every day. If you’re unsure about surgery or need guidance, our monthly seminars are a great first step to answer your questions and help you feel ready.

"In October of 2020, I saw Dr. Hoehn for the first time. He agreed that I needed RNY bypass surgery and that I was a good candidate for it. After a long battle with my insurance I was finally able to schedule my surgery for June 3, 2021, at a weight of 311 lbs. That was the day my life changed forever - the best decision I’ve ever made for myself.
It has not been an easy road, but it has definitely been a learning experience. People ask me all the time what the hardest part of this journey has been, and I’d have to say: keeping the mindset to make good choices when I eat and learning how to listen to my body when it’s had enough.
From a young age, we’re taught things like “finish your plate” or “hurry up and eat!” It’s tough 0 especially at age 51 - to retrain your mind to slow down, to actually chew your food, and to be mindful of what’s going into your body.
Today, my liver enzymes are near perfect and continue to improve with each visit.I’ve also discovered a new love for exercise! I have more energy and truly feel great. Now, at 180 lbs, I actually want to get up and do things!
Thank you, KC Bariatric, for giving me the “tool” that helped change my life. I will be forever grateful."
