Recommended Posts

Anyone in Kentucky have doctor Olsofka (not sure on the spelling).

I am seeing him and he will be my surgeon if all is approved.

How did you like him? How did your surgery go?

I didn't go to Dr. O. but I did go to his partner, Dr. Lusco.

I love this team! I had surgery last October....I'm down 70 pounds.

In my opinion this group is THE best in Louisville.

Good luck to you,

Lisa

Thank you. That is great to hear. So everything went well after surgery? How was the pain?

The pain wasn't too bad. That was the first time I've ever had surgery so I wasn't sure what to expect. The first day obviously was the worst. I sat in the recliner all day. Had some gas issues in my chest that evening, walked the floor with those. Each day got a little better. I didn't take any pain medicine and I had what I call two 'bad' days.

My husband had the band put in the day before me and he did take pain medicine and you'd never've known he had surgery!!

Wow that is great. I am glad to hear some good things. I have not gotten to talk to anyone who has had their surgery there.

Hey fellow L'ville people, I had my surgery 8/31/09. Dr. Ashley Lankford at the Floyd Memorial Wt loss center did my surgery. I can not say enough good things a/b the entire staff there. I've had no real problems. Today I had my 1st fill-it went w/out a hitch. I would recommend this team to anyone considering the band. If any of yall want to chat, just send me a pvt message. I would love to hear how yall are doing...

I agree I would like to hear from others in the area.

I went to cardio doc today and he said I was doing great and I did not need to check back for a year instead of 6 months.

      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.
