I'm from Louisville ky! I had surgery on the 20th at baptist east with dr oldham! He's amazing! Couldn't ask for better!

He did an endo on me this morning. Looking as fine as ever. He's so nice.

Dr oldham is amazing! My family was very impressed. He cares a lot about his patients. After I got approved maybe a week or 2 I was in there. Well I am doing ok. Some days are good some are bad. More good than bad. Hope all goes well for everyone! Any questions just ask!!! Good luck!

I went to initial info meeting In December and had surgery 3/9. From what I can tell the way dr old ham does it is much more efficient than other doctors. Part of the delay was my insurance. Good luck. He is super nice and cute.

      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.
