KENTUCKY Sleevers?!!?



Recommended Posts

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.

Ha ha, safeman, I sent you a PM before I saw the post you'd made. I'd love to do that! I'm having a lot of trouble with the 30 carbs restriction, so any tips, tricks would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Charllotteb, I am also from Southern Indiana, hopefully having my surgery in May. There is a support group at the Hospital in Jasper the second Monday of every month.

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!

Dr Oldham is amazing. I've had some med tolerance issues and he had be so great. Calling me on his own time to check on me. Got me out of the hospital before our snowstorm hit the other day. He's so nice and a great surgeon

wondering the process and how long it takes to get approved. I have watched the online seminar and sent in my packet to the Baptist health weight loss (Dr Weiss). Just not sure about Bluegrass Family Health Insurance, if I will get approved or not. did anyone have to do a 6 month supervised diet? I heard some people on the forum discuss a diet they had to follow before their insurance paid?

Hi all, I'm in LaGrange. I'm not sleeved yet, and still researching. Just checked with my insurance, and the provide no coverage for WLS, so at this point, I'm on my own. I'm going to an informational session on Nov. 8 at Baptist LaGrange, and if all goes well, my surgery will be with Dr. Oldham. I've heard nothing but great things about him.

So those of you that have been sleeved for a while. How is it going?

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
