"3/7/03 - Dr. Hitchcock removed my gallbladder 10 years ago via laproscopic and he was wonderful then and he is wonderful now! I am so excited that he is doing the RNY procedure and that I qualify for the RNY! I have been very impressed with the "program" that his office puts you through. The pre-testing in my opinion is a MUST and it is reassuring that I am in good good hands. I delivered both my children at Shawnee Mission Medical Center and I love the hospital and feel fortunate that they are affiliated with this hospital. Dr. Hitchcock's seminar was the BEST and it was extremely informative..convinced my husband!!!! I can't say enough about Dr. Hitchcock and his team! Nola the director of the program is an absolutely wonderful person, as well as Linda his nurse! The entire staff continuously show their concern and understanding for each patient! I can't wait to have my surgery!!!"
