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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
