Anyone have or had surgery at Georgetown, Ky



Recommended Posts

I was just wondering if anyone out there had surgery or is having surgery at Georgetown hospital in Ky. I'd love to hear any experiences you may want to share...length of stay after the procedure and how you were treated by the staff, how was the facility?..accomadating, clean, etc..who was your surgeon and how do you feel about him? I heard one surgeon has left and wondered if he would be replaced, if anyone knows details about this, I'd like to hear about it. Good or bad experiences.

My doctor mentioned someone leaving at our last support group meeting and that Bluegrass Bariatrics was going to be doing surgeries there from now on. I had my surgery in Louisville but the surgeons are great.

That was shocking news so I called Georgetown and they said that is not true. She had heard nothing about bluegrass bariatrics.She said Dr. Sonnanstine is leaving for Ohio in September but Dr. Rasmussen will be staying and performing the surgeries there at Georgetown. I will stick with Dr.Rasmussen since I'm new and haven't seen either of them. There is quite a write up on him at the website.

I had heard the same thing that CCBDEKE heard, and it coincides with your information ... Dr. Sonnanstine is leaving. Dr. Rasmussen is staying BUT he is joining the Bluegrass Bariatrice team with Dr. Weis and Oldham.

CCBDEKE, where you at the last meeting a couple of weeks ago with the Behavioral Therapist. Looking at your avatar, you look familiar. Were you there with your wife who was having surgery the next week?

      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.
