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.

      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.
