VSG @ Central Baptist Hospital Lexington, KY



Recommended Posts

Has anyone out there had surgery with Dr. Weiss at Central Baptist in Lexington, KY? I'm scheduled for my EGD on Wednesday this week and then for VSG on May 26. Just wondering how everythig went. I'd love to chat with someone to discuss pre and post op surgery worries. Thanks!

It is nice to see someone [some what] local!! I got approved last week and now I am waiting on my surgery date, but need to do an EGD as well. I will having my surgery at Baptist East wtih Dr Oldham (part of the same group as Dr Weiss).

Did they have you buy the Bariatric Advantage powder?

Do they have support group meeting in Lexington? We have them maybe once a month (from what I have heard) in the Elizabethtown office. But they are for all WLS, not just VSG patients.

Congrats on your surgery date BTW!! Keep us updated!

My wife and I are having ours done by Drs Weiss and Oldham at Baptist East in Louisville. They travel around KY quite a bit. We don't have a date yet, my intake appointment is tomorrow.

Yeppers.. they won't do the VSG at Hardin.. so it is off to Baptist East for me and my crew. I am so nervous now, but wonder why they haven't scheduled my surgery yet ?!?! My friend got the approval call and they scheduled her right then.. sigh.

Amy said Dr Oldham was extremely attentive with her and that was good to hear. Her good experience really gives me hope that my experience will be good as well! I haven't met Dr Weiss yet, but it is my understanding that they will both be in the surgery?!?! Do you know for sure?

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
