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?

      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.
