Bariatric Surgeon Dr. John Husted Somerset, Ky

Mountain Lover, Yes, I did have the VSG with Dr. Husted. I had it done on 11/20 and I am feeling wonderful! Surgery was a piece of cake. I took my pain medicine only twice after returning home. I think Dr. Husted is an outstanding surgeon, and I'm sure you feel the same way. I was most impressed to wake up and realize that I only had 1 incision! So far, I'm down 30 pounds, however, I've currently found that dreaded 3 week mark stall. People have already taken notice and I feel great! How are you doing? Any problems with surgery and/or hospital staff? It was my first ever hospital stay and I didn't find it to be as awful as I thought it would be! Hope you are recovering well! -
Hello kteacher,
Did you have your surgery on 11/20 and if you did, what procedure did you have? I sure hope everything is going ok for you. Please let me know!!

Hello kteacher,
I am glad to see that you live in Somerset area. I did have my surgery on Dec.2 and I am doing ok. I was approved by Medicaid to have the sleeve. I have not regretted having it at all. I hope you stay with Dr. Husted. He is such a great doctor. He really cares about his patients. I hope we get to meet up sometime to chat, if you would like. I am planning on going to the next support group meeting that they have each month at the Bariatric Center beside Dr. Husted's office. I don't know what date the next one is on, so I will have to get on his web page and find out. Maybe I will see you there. I wish you all the best.

Hello! I also live in the Somerset area. I attended a seminar by Dr. Husted in August. I went in set on having the band, but switched to the VSG during the seminar. I was extremely impressed with Dr. Husted during the seminar and the way he explained the procedure. I got the ball rolling by sending in my patient packet and spending hours upon hours on the internet researching the band, the sleeve, and the DS. After all of this, I knew the sleeve was the procedure perfect for me. I also found out that my insurance would not cover any WLS procedure. I finally got a call 2 weeks ago from Dr. Husted's office to set up a consult appointment with Dr. Husted. I set up the appointment for the following week and was again, very impressed with Dr. Husted. I never expected to leave the office with a surgery date, but I did! I'm set for the VSG 11/20! I could have had it done a lot sooner, but I'm a teacher and I set it up right before Thanksgiving break. I'm nervous and excited all at the same time! Best of luck with your insurance approval and even greater luck with your weight loss! :tongue2:
