Any Georgetown KY bandets?



Recommended Posts

Hi just wondering if any one out their has gotten or is thinkgin of getting banded at Georgetown KY?

I have been to my first all day apt. But was going in as a self pay then realized my husbands inc covers it, if you qualify. I am waiting on them to respond if I am approved or not.

I know they have their own band web site which is nice, but I do enjoy getting on this one as well and have come to realize that getting banded seams more popular then getting a boob job.

LOL which may need to come after weight loss:):rolleyes2:

I was banded 2/6/08 by Dr. Oldham and to date have lost 22 lbs since surgery, 30.5 since the pre-surgery diet in January. I am very satisfied with office. I actually thanked them for making it so easy. They took care of all the appointments and approvals.

I attended the seminar in Somerset on May 2nd. I have submitted my paperwork with Georgetown and hope to get accepted there soon. Would love to stay in touch with people currently going to Georgetown, going through this process and those who have walked it before. Good luck to everyone. hope to hear from some of you.:welldoneclap:

Hi,

My name is Patty and I had the lapband surgery 1 month ago at Georgetown.

The staff is wonderful. They explain everything several times there are some classes you have to take there at their facility. Very thorough. I I had a great experience. I am down 22 pounds in 5 weeks. Feeling Great. I would do it again in a second and I would do it there. My doctor was Weiss. There are two doctors there and they work together on the operations. One take on the first roll and the other backs him up. Again I can't stress enough how thorough they are. Several of the nurses have had one or the other of the surgeries and tell you exactly what to expect. So far they have been right on.

      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.
