Looking for Doctor in northern Ky



Recommended Posts

Hi I am in florence KY and I just had the surgery 5/23/2007 at St. Luke by Dr. Sonnanstine. So far I am very happy with everything. I typically do everything in my power to avoid using hospitals in Northern Ky but I was very satisfied with my care at St. Luke and thus far with the staff at Dr. Sonnannstine's office.

Hi, all I am in louisville, Ky. My Dr is Olsofka. I seen him on May 31. He said I should have a approval by the end if next week. That just sounds really fast to me. He said it all moves pretty quick from there. I'm so excited. Any one else done by him?

Hello,

I'm in Covington, KY and will be banded by Dr. Sonnanstine on July 2. Everyone says he's the best, and so far, I think he's great. The program they offer there so far has been very informative, and they have support group meetings post op also. You should look him up. He does surgery at St. Luke West in florence.

      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.
