Calling all NKY people

Hi, just curious how many northern kentucky people are on this site. I had my surgery in the middle of Nov. with Dr. Curry in Cincinnati. so far I am down 145 lbs want to lose another 100 lbs. Would love to connect with some local people in KY who have had the surgery. Let me know if anyone is interested. Maybe we all could go out to dinner or do something. Just a thought. Hope to hear from some people. Best wishes to all, Donna

Hi! I am going through the process now with Dr. Sonnanstine. I am hoping to have it done the middle of June, but I don't have a "date" yet. I love this place, but I'm still fairly new to it myself. Thanks! Katrina [email protected]

I just joined the board tonight, and just had my first visit with Dr. Smith this week. I am pursuing a lap band. I used Optifast last year, lost 80 pounds, then started eating food again. Now my butt has caught up with me. I have gained most of what I lost. Ugh! I am sooo tired of this. I would be thrilled to be a size 14 again! I was afraid of the gastric bypass and the mortatlity rate, as I read more and more about the lap band I decided that was for me. The intial thought of a lap band and my actual appointment with Dr. Smith happened within one week. I was lucky enough to get right in to see him. I'm thinking Dr. Curry is involved in the lap band with him right now. The surgery is at Deaconess... Which surgery did you all have? I have an echocardiogram scheduled for Monday (also used Phen Fen years ago), nutrition and psych evaluations this week. That will wrap everything up for the letter to be sent to insurance. I can't believe this has fallen into place so quickly. I am very excited, but nervous about the echo. I was/am in the don't test, don't know category. I walked around Target tonight thinking next summer I can wear that! Julia Roberts is on Letterman, thin people do not age well!

Fort Mitchell here. I also had my surgery with Dr C in 2004. I'd like to meet more people from the board. 200 pounds less of me then there used to be!!

I'm in the middle of KY. Like the other lady, I haven't had my surgery yet but am scheduled for my first visit for some of the pre-op testing and talking on Thursday, May 18. I would LOVE to meet other Gastric Bypass women. Gale

Hi all thanks for replying. To those who have not had surgery wish you nothing but the best keep us up to date on whats going on. Still looking to connect with NKY people. Donna

Well if you'll let us non-surgs come, I'll meet with you gals/guys if I'm off work at that time.

I live in Alexandria and underwent the lapband procedure May 4 at Barix in Ohio. Where are all the NKY'ers? ~ Melissa 267/246/160 5'9"
