KY Bariatric Surgeons--Any Advice?



Recommended Posts

Hello, everyone. I am new to the boards and am researching bariatric surgeons in my area. I have narrowed the choices down to 3 hospitals: Kings Daughters in Ashland, Georgetown Bariatric, and Commonwealth Bariatrics in Somerset. Did any of you have your procedures done at either of these hospitals? If so, would you care to rate your experience? I want to make the best decision possible and reading general descriptions on their websites is not helping as much as I'd hoped. Thanks in advance for any and all replies! ????

I would recommend him and his office. They are very efficient and super nice people. Dr Oldham was very attentive when I was not feeling well after surgery. He came in 3 times to check on me to figure out why I was throwing up every time something hit my stomach. I have my 30 day check up this thursday.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
