Anyone have or had surgery at Georgetown, Ky



Recommended Posts

I was just wondering if anyone out there had surgery or is having surgery at Georgetown hospital in Ky. I'd love to hear any experiences you may want to share...length of stay after the procedure and how you were treated by the staff, how was the facility?..accomadating, clean, etc..who was your surgeon and how do you feel about him? I heard one surgeon has left and wondered if he would be replaced, if anyone knows details about this, I'd like to hear about it. Good or bad experiences.

My doctor mentioned someone leaving at our last support group meeting and that Bluegrass Bariatrics was going to be doing surgeries there from now on. I had my surgery in Louisville but the surgeons are great.

That was shocking news so I called Georgetown and they said that is not true. She had heard nothing about bluegrass bariatrics.She said Dr. Sonnanstine is leaving for Ohio in September but Dr. Rasmussen will be staying and performing the surgeries there at Georgetown. I will stick with Dr.Rasmussen since I'm new and haven't seen either of them. There is quite a write up on him at the website.

I had heard the same thing that CCBDEKE heard, and it coincides with your information ... Dr. Sonnanstine is leaving. Dr. Rasmussen is staying BUT he is joining the Bluegrass Bariatrice team with Dr. Weis and Oldham.

CCBDEKE, where you at the last meeting a couple of weeks ago with the Behavioral Therapist. Looking at your avatar, you look familiar. Were you there with your wife who was having surgery the next week?

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
