HELLO! Is anyone out there?

I know there has been about 400 Lap Bands done by the surgeons group I am looking into using, does anyone in the Kentucky Area have any comments or suggestions about their physicican?

I have Anthem and am in the process of the 6 month diet, appointment #5 is tomorrow then one more month to go. It does go by quicker than you think. Keep your chin up and your eye on the goal, before you know it you will be the leader of the band (forgive, I could not resist!!)

Hi Kentuckians,

I live in Paducah, Kentucky. I didn't have too much luck with Anthem BC/BS, too many hoops. I'm self pay July 10th, Monterrey Mexico. I went to the seminar at Baptist Hospital in Nashville but they just hadn't done enough of them for me and Vandy had done even less.

Good luck,

Sherri

Wow, your date is just around the corner. Luck to you. I live in Hopkinsville and am in Paducah alot. I'm holding out for insurance to reimburse some of the money I have put into it these last 20 some odd years. But if they let me down I may have questions about Mexico.

I am from Bowling Green, Ky. And was wondering if anyone on here has heard of Dr. Argotee in Paducah? He is at Lourds Pavillion?

I am familiar with Lourds but not with Dr Argotee. Do a search on him and see if there is a review from patients who have been treated by him. Good Luck

Iziksmom, Hi! I am also seeing Dr. Olsofka. I have heard only GOOD things about him. Isn't it funny how different insurances have you do different things before the surgery. I am in the beginning part of the process, you sound like you are doing great! Keep up the good work, I hope to find out when I will be banded. Sherry Matt

Hi,

My name is Marcia. I'm from Eastern Kentucky, Lowmansville to be exact. Is anyone else from this area?

Hey all, Im from Falcon in Magoffin county. I should get to have my band sometime next month.

Hi. I'm from Northern Kentucky and am having the band done on Aug the 18th. Very scared but looking forward to it all the same

Good luck to all the new bandsters from Kentucky!!! I wish you all very much success!! :-)

Wow! there really are Kentucky people here!

I live in lagrange and was banded may 26,2006. Going well so far. I get my fills from Dr. C.

How is everyone doing so far?

Yes, there are a few. I am not banded yet but have just completed the 6 month diet. My pcp is suppose to be sending info to doctor in Clarksville then maybe I will get a date. Congrats on your loss since May 26th, (my birthday). I want to be on that side of the forum!!!

Hi GreatDame! I am next door to you over in Henry County! Sounds like you are off to a great start!! Keep up the good work! I was banded in January and have done pretty good so far. Where is Dr. C located? Is he in LaGrange or do you go to L'ville?

DR c..he posts her somtimes.....He is in cinnci...and I just love him and his staff.

I am originally from Southern Indiana but went to college for two yrs at Univ. of Kentucky in Lexington. I loved it there....good memories. Used to drive to Lville and Clarksville on the weekends. There are lots of kind ppl in Kentucky. I live in FL now so I am far far away from my KY friends...
