Dr Weiss in Lexington, KY



Recommended Posts

So tomorrow my journey officially begins. Intake day. I'll be talking with the PA, the Psychologist, a nutritionist, and a financial/insurance specialist, as well as having some blood work done. I'm nervous but excited to finally be moving forward with this. Anyone else who had surgery with Dr. Weiss? He comes very highly recommended. I'm told the best in the state. I'd appreciate some "intake day" insights if you have any.

Thanks.

Dr. Weiss did my sleeve and I love him! He's very thorough, he's never had a death in 11 years of practice. I'm happy to answer any questions. I just had my sleeve May 21st.

One thing I would like to strongly suggest is that you stay on top of the nurses to walk you and use your spirometer. My nurses would have never walked me had I not asked them to. Walking is essential to your recovery.

He's amazing! I had a great experience with him. The best piece of advice I can give you is make your nurses walk you if they are lax about it. Mine didn't offer to walk me but one time. So I asked them to. It is imperitive that you walk and use your spirometer in the hospital AND out of the hospital. I promise you will heal faster if you do.

He doesn't do things the way some peoples surgeons on here do. There's no rules about drinking 30 minutes before or after eating. So, don't worry at all about that.

They will give you these nasty tubes of fruit Protein goo in the hospital. They are WAY too sweet. However, I mixed mine with Water and it made it much easier to tolerate them.

Get in your Protein and take your meds and Vitamins and you will do just fine!

If you have ANY questions at all, please feel free to ask!

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
