Your journey starts here.
Geary Community Hospital was the first hospital in Kansas to offer bariatric surgery for the treatment of morbid obesity. We have performed over 800 surgeries and continue to offer our expertise to help make this life-changing decision a successful one.
This program is a lifesaver, no joking!!! Before this surgery, I was able to lose the weight but was unable to keep it off. Prior to my surgery I was at the point to where I could barely move. My life, if that's what you want to call it, consisted of working 12 hour shifts on concrete floors on my feet all day. In tears every day because I hurt so bad...
If it were not for Rhonda, Pam, and Jennifer at Innovative Weight Loss Solutions, and of course the wonderful surgeons I would still be living my life of pain....
God Bless You, and keep up the wonderful job you are doing.

Morbid obesity is not a cosmetic problem. Medical science has clearly established that it is a critical health issue with statistics demonstrating that life expectancies are dramatically shorter for people who are severely overweight. Health conditions related to obesity can be deadly, and controlling severe obesity can be a matter of life or death.
IWLS is committed to the care of severely obese patients who have struggled to lose weight and keep it off through conventional methods. Our experienced surgeons offer three different surgical options, including the LAP-BAND®, open Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, and laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass.
