Hey, just found ya! I am not in NKY, but I am familiar with that area. I am just S. of Louisville (about 2 hours from you) and I was banded in January. I looked for a buddy on here back when I was starting out and had NO LUCK. I'm not convinced there are a lot of us from KY on here, but anyhoo feel free to give me a shout with any questions and let me know how you are doing so far! Best of luck!

I am in Louisville, KY. I am willing to answer any ???'s and would love to help anyone I could. But I really don't know if I am the best person for this. I have been banded for almost a year and have been hovering for the last 6 months. I did great for the first 6 months then lost motivation for some reason. I can't seem to start following the rules again for some reason. I feel that I may need a lil therapy to get me back where I need to be. I wish you all the luck and will help in anyway I can.

Karebare, who is your surgeon? I had surgery through the Norton's group in Louisville.

I went through Dr Olsofka at St Marys Hospital in Louisville. My mom had hers done at nortons but I dont remember the Drs name.
