Recommended Posts

Has anyone out there had surgery with Dr. Weiss at Central Baptist in Lexington, KY? I'm scheduled for my EGD on Wednesday this week and then for VSG on May 26. Just wondering how everythig went. I'd love to chat with someone to discuss pre and post op surgery worries. Thanks!

It is nice to see someone [some what] local!! I got approved last week and now I am waiting on my surgery date, but need to do an EGD as well. I will having my surgery at Baptist East wtih Dr Oldham (part of the same group as Dr Weiss).

Did they have you buy the Bariatric Advantage powder?

Do they have support group meeting in Lexington? We have them maybe once a month (from what I have heard) in the Elizabethtown office. But they are for all WLS, not just VSG patients.

Congrats on your surgery date BTW!! Keep us updated!

My wife and I are having ours done by Drs Weiss and Oldham at Baptist East in Louisville. They travel around KY quite a bit. We don't have a date yet, my intake appointment is tomorrow.

Yeppers.. they won't do the VSG at Hardin.. so it is off to Baptist East for me and my crew. I am so nervous now, but wonder why they haven't scheduled my surgery yet ?!?! My friend got the approval call and they scheduled her right then.. sigh.

Amy said Dr Oldham was extremely attentive with her and that was good to hear. Her good experience really gives me hope that my experience will be good as well! I haven't met Dr Weiss yet, but it is my understanding that they will both be in the surgery?!?! Do you know for sure?

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
