Georgetown bariatrics in kentucky



Recommended Posts

So I am just started my gastric sleeve journey. I am 38 years old with three fantastic little boys. I have been to the information session and in the process of seeing a cardiologist, PC, and getting a EGD. I am going thru georgetown bariatric with Dr. Derek Weiss in georgetown, ky. I am self pay. Stupid insurance has a wls exclusion. The price of surgery is around 16,000. I have worried about paying this much but have come to term that it's a small price to pay for my health. I also worry about the surgery it's self and complication. I love this site but it can also scare the crap out of you! I know that I have todo this to get heathy for myself and family. My question is has anyone used georgetown bariatrics or Dr Weiss that can give me feedback. I am such a worry wart I think is the waiting that makes me crazy!

I will let you know how everything goes and what my experience was like. Congrats to both of us on our brave, healthy choice!! Thinner times ahead :-)

I used Dr. Weiss. I did have a leak but I don't believe it was anything that either he or I did wrong, just one of those things that happen.

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
