Anyone Louisville KY Dr. Olsofka



Recommended Posts

Anyone in Kentucky have doctor Olsofka (not sure on the spelling).

I am seeing him and he will be my surgeon if all is approved.

How did you like him? How did your surgery go?

I didn't go to Dr. O. but I did go to his partner, Dr. Lusco.

I love this team! I had surgery last October....I'm down 70 pounds.

In my opinion this group is THE best in Louisville.

Good luck to you,

Lisa

Thank you. That is great to hear. So everything went well after surgery? How was the pain?

The pain wasn't too bad. That was the first time I've ever had surgery so I wasn't sure what to expect. The first day obviously was the worst. I sat in the recliner all day. Had some gas issues in my chest that evening, walked the floor with those. Each day got a little better. I didn't take any pain medicine and I had what I call two 'bad' days.

My husband had the band put in the day before me and he did take pain medicine and you'd never've known he had surgery!!

Wow that is great. I am glad to hear some good things. I have not gotten to talk to anyone who has had their surgery there.

Hey fellow L'ville people, I had my surgery 8/31/09. Dr. Ashley Lankford at the Floyd Memorial Wt loss center did my surgery. I can not say enough good things a/b the entire staff there. I've had no real problems. Today I had my 1st fill-it went w/out a hitch. I would recommend this team to anyone considering the band. If any of yall want to chat, just send me a pvt message. I would love to hear how yall are doing...

I agree I would like to hear from others in the area.

I went to cardio doc today and he said I was doing great and I did not need to check back for a year instead of 6 months.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
