KY Bariatric Surgeons--Any Advice?



Recommended Posts

Hello, everyone. I am new to the boards and am researching bariatric surgeons in my area. I have narrowed the choices down to 3 hospitals: Kings Daughters in Ashland, Georgetown Bariatric, and Commonwealth Bariatrics in Somerset. Did any of you have your procedures done at either of these hospitals? If so, would you care to rate your experience? I want to make the best decision possible and reading general descriptions on their websites is not helping as much as I'd hoped. Thanks in advance for any and all replies! ????

I would recommend him and his office. They are very efficient and super nice people. Dr Oldham was very attentive when I was not feeling well after surgery. He came in 3 times to check on me to figure out why I was throwing up every time something hit my stomach. I have my 30 day check up this thursday.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
