KENTUCKY Sleevers?!!?



Recommended Posts

I am looking into the sleeve with Dr. Oldham out of Etown. Surgery to be done at Baptist East. Anyone else in the Louisville - Etown area? I am looking for feedback on the BlueGrass Group in Etown. Thanks!

Just wanted to say hi. I'm from Campbellsville, but I am currently working out of Portland OR. I just got sleeved in June. It was the best decision I ever made. Wishing you the best of luck on your journey!

I'm Jenny, live in Louisville, I don't have a surgery date yet because I have to do the 6 month diet before insurance will approve it. I'm seeing Dr. Oldham and surgery will likely be at Baptist East. I go for my endoscopy next week!

I live in Lexington and Derek Weiss did my sleeve in Georgetown on December 1. Down 56 pounds and things have gone exceptionally well but I would love to be in a face to face group with others in Kentucky or greater Cincinnati. The online world has been a tremendous help but I would be willing to travel once a week to meet with others in the same boat or who have been through parts of the journey that I have not visited yet. Also I like helping others who have not made into the process or not as far along as I am. Please let me know if anyone is interested.

I can find us a meeting place in Lexington if anyone is interested.

I am interested in meeting but will need to wait until after my surgery. I have a difficult time traveling right now. Keep me posted on your plans.

I am 2 months out and self paid. Went to a wonderful doctor in NC Dr Ryan Heider. Would be happy to share experience. Very glad I did it but not without a quirk or two.

I'm in Western KY - So. Indiana area. Anybody from around these parts? I'm looking for a support group to attend at least once a month or more. Got my surgery date in February and looking forward to starting this new journey!

Hey all. Dr. Steiner will be doing my sleeve on February 19. I am very excited, and a little scared, to be honest. It seems like it will be a lot of work, but also very rewarding. My sister had the bypass over a year ago, and she has lost 100 pounds, so hopefully I'll have her luck. Don and Randy - I'm in Lexington as well, definitely interested in starting a small group!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
