KENTUCKY Sleevers?!!?

I am looking into the sleeve with Dr. Oldham out of Etown. Surgery to be done at Baptist East. Anyone else in the Louisville - Etown area? I am looking for feedback on the BlueGrass Group in Etown. Thanks!

I'm going in to schedule with Dr. Oldham on 8/18. Glad to see you are doing well with your surgery!

Just wanted to say hi. I'm from Campbellsville, but I am currently working out of Portland OR. I just got sleeved in June. It was the best decision I ever made. Wishing you the best of luck on your journey!

I'm Sarah, I'm from Brownsville, KY and I'm scheduled for surgery in March of next year. I'm just getting started. I'm looking for fellow sleepers to take to. Good luck to you! :-)

I'm Jenny, live in Louisville, I don't have a surgery date yet because I have to do the 6 month diet before insurance will approve it. I'm seeing Dr. Oldham and surgery will likely be at Baptist East. I go for my endoscopy next week!

I live in Lexington and Derek Weiss did my sleeve in Georgetown on December 1. Down 56 pounds and things have gone exceptionally well but I would love to be in a face to face group with others in Kentucky or greater Cincinnati. The online world has been a tremendous help but I would be willing to travel once a week to meet with others in the same boat or who have been through parts of the journey that I have not visited yet. Also I like helping others who have not made into the process or not as far along as I am. Please let me know if anyone is interested.

I can find us a meeting place in Lexington if anyone is interested.

I am interested in meeting but will need to wait until after my surgery. I have a difficult time traveling right now. Keep me posted on your plans.

I am 2 months out and self paid. Went to a wonderful doctor in NC Dr Ryan Heider. Would be happy to share experience. Very glad I did it but not without a quirk or two.

Don,

I am also in Lexington. My surgery is this Thursday, 1/22. I would be happy to meet regularly after my surgery.

I'm in Western KY - So. Indiana area. Anybody from around these parts? I'm looking for a support group to attend at least once a month or more. Got my surgery date in February and looking forward to starting this new journey!

Hey all. Dr. Steiner will be doing my sleeve on February 19. I am very excited, and a little scared, to be honest. It seems like it will be a lot of work, but also very rewarding. My sister had the bypass over a year ago, and she has lost 100 pounds, so hopefully I'll have her luck. Don and Randy - I'm in Lexington as well, definitely interested in starting a small group!

Geekguy, let me know after your surgery when you are ready to meet, or before your surgery if you want to meet before. I would be happy to meet you for a cup of decaf coffee. My surgery was 11 days ago and each day is better than the day before. The first 5 days were difficult, but I am over the hump now and I am already so glad I had the surgery. Dr. Newton did my surgery, Dr. Steiner was assisting him.
