Hey guys/girls,

I guess I should start by introducing myself. I am 31 years old from Paris Ky and I am looking into getting the sleeve. I found this site a couple weeks ago and have been doing a LOT of reading at a number of different topics. Luckily I was looking around and found this KY portion and saw some stuff that I was actually looking for. A couple things that I saw were the mention of Georgetown Bariatrics and of Dr. Weiss. I would be going this route due to my insurance and upon several very positive suggestions concerning Dr. Weiss. I tried searching the hospital/surgeon sections with limited results. I would be very very interested in hearing anything you guys have to say regarding both the hospital and Dr. Weiss. I want to hear the good, the bad, the indifferent. How was your experience?? How are your results?? Complications?? Would you recommend them??? Thanks guys. Gotta run. Dave.

Dr Weiss did my surgery on 8/23 at CBH in Lexington because that's where my insurance required me to go. He is brilliant; my daughter calls him Dr Badass! I went home on 8/24. Felt great, still feel great. No complications and I would recommend them without reservations!

Hey Peach,

Thanks for the response. Where are you from in KY?? I will be ending up in Georgetown with Weiss, like you because of insurance. Doing a ton of research and looking so all info and advice is appreciated. Thanks, Dave.

I live in Louisville. Going to Lexington wasn't like driving cross country, but it was a pain in the rear. I had been going to Bluegrass Bariatrics in Louisville and was a lot more familiar with Dr Oldham. I didn't know how I would feel about Dr Weiss. After meeting him and especially after going through intake, any reservations were gone! Have you done intake yet?

Dr. Weiss did my surgery as well, at CBH in Lexington. I was self-pay, so I chose him after doing some research. He was awesome--answered all of my questions, and did a great job. I was sleeved 2/9 and went home 2/11. He came by to check on me every day I was there. No complications, went back to work after 2 weeks. I would say the only negative is that I haven't seen him since I was discharged from the hospital. All of my follow-up appointments have been with a Physician's Assistant. I get that he's busy and has a ton of patients, but it would have been nice to see him again at least once after discharge. I did call his office with a question once during recovery when I wasn't feeling well and they called him and called me back pretty quickly, so that was a plus. Good luck to you--have you started the process yet?

Hey guys. I finally got to make it to the seminar last week. Between work and family stuff time is hard to come by. I am gonna get the paperwork started but it will be after the start of the new year before I get anything done as I am gonna upgrade my insurance and it has to take effect. I have made several changes and am currently in the 290's right now. Weiss seemed OK. I expected more in depth info in the seminar but I guess that is just from coming here and doing a lot of my own research. We will see how things progress and go from there. Thanks for the replies. It is good to hear of first hand experience...
