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.
"It" was always there with me . . . at the store, at the lake, at work, at weddings, at family reunions, at the end of day, and in the morning. I had given up hope of ever living without "It".
All that changed when I started my journey with Innovative Weight Loss Solutions...

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. Our providers are also TRICARE preferred.
