Shawnee Mission Prairie Star Surgery Center

I have a Lap Band. There, I said it. I’ve also had to have a revision due to no fault of my own; well scar tissue to be exact. The Shawnee Mission Prairie Star Surgery Center is where the KC Bariatric Center does their surgeries. They are located one floor up from this center. So, as it would be, I was there earlier this week getting my revision. This was my first time here as they used to do all of their surgeries (that I am aware of) at the main Shawnee Mission Medical Center. The surgery center is about 4 years old but doesn’t look a day over brand new. It is very well kept! VERY clean (as any surgery center should be), well laid out, well maintained and the staff couldn’t have been any better; friendly and professional. I had my hesitations since it’s small but I was very reassured the more I talked with my doctor and seeing the areas for myself. Surgery doesn’t scare me a bit so I don’t get put under until I have moved myself from one bed to the OR table and settled in. The OR was immaculate, everything that needed to be there was there if anything were to happen to me or you. Again, the staff was very knowledgeable and answered any questions I had. There is also a fully functional ER downstairs if that helps calm your nerves. :) So, if you are considering any sort of weight loss surgery at the KC Bariatric Center, this is where you will come. Aren’t you the lucky one? (yes, you are)
