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.

GLP-1 medications can help reduce hunger and support portion control - but lasting results come from expert care, accountability, and lifestyle changes.
At KCB, GLP-1s are never a one-size-fits-all solution. They’re part of a medically guided, long-term plan designed around you.

"I started 2025 weighing 320 lbs, absolutely miserable and knew I needed a change! I started my liquid diet January 13th and never looked back. I did the liquid diet for two weeks and knew after conquering it that anything was possible. Surgery went great, recovery went well, I was sore for about 6 weeks but nothing Tylenol didn’t take care of. I continued to follow the binder and do my lab work and push forward. Before my 6 month checkup I was down 100lbs. I am almost down 140lbs in 10 months. I have never felt better! I lost my one and only child in 2018 and never thought I could ever feel human again but this has given me the opportunity to make changes in my mental and physical health and I am forever thankful for Dr Hoehn and his team for that! It’s definitely a lifestyle change and the surgery isn’t the fix all, it’s a tool and one that can be great if you want to put in the work to feel so much better!!!!"

Weight loss isn’t linear - and this journey proves it.
Bariatric surgery, pregnancy after surgery, medical revisions, and restorative care weren’t setbacks - they were acts of strength and self-advocacy. Choosing health isn’t selfish. It’s necessary, especially for those who spend their lives caring for others.
At KC Bariatric, we believe staying in the journey matters more than speed. And when you need more support, that doesn’t mean you failed - it means you’re fighting for yourself.

Wherever you are in your journey, our team is here to support your next step. Learn more about your options with KC Bariatric. 💙
