Anyone know any good surgeons in ky

Dr George Derek Weiss , he is at Bluegrass Bariatric in Lexington Kentucky. He's the only Bliss rated doctor in Kentucky. He takes many insurances, including medicare and medicade. He preformed my surgery on September 10th. I was up and walking aferocious 20 minutes in my room. His staff is helpful and supportive. And post surgery you're allowed to have Water and ice before the swallow test, which is rare. I'm glad that I stayed with him through the whole process.

When did you start your process? That's who I originally went too. My insurance denied me back in June requesting a peer to peer here it is 3 months later and his office still has not schuduled it.

I started at Georgetown in February of this year. He moved so I went with him. I would recommend calling his office or stopping by. I know a few weeks before my surgery I stopped in four days in a row to get things straightened out. Once they sent off the insurance papers I heard back in 3 days. Was told to go on my high Protein diet and had a group meeting. Then a week later I had surgery. If you can get in there and have him as your surgeon you will be in awesome hands.

Yes I had the sleeve. Went off without a hitch. I was in surgery about 30 minutes. Dr Weiss is very talented.
