Bariatric Surgeons in the Lexington area

Does anyone have any information/feedback on a Raymond Gagliardi in KY? Any other recommendations for bariatric surgeons in the area? Thanks! P~

I had my band placed with Drs. Weiss and Oldham in Georgetown. They also do lapRNY. I have had great results and couldn't ask for more caring surgeons.

Hello Pamela, When my husband and I first considered the surgery, we went to UK (as that UK HMO was our insurance at the time) which is where Dr. Gagliardi practices, but quickly changed our mind about him. The reason being is because it seemed as though his office was not as accessible as I would have liked. I remember talking to his nurse, Theresa I believe, and she was nice, but was very cryptic in answer mine and my hubby's questions on the surgery and what length of time it would take to go through the proccess. I got to thinking that if this is any indication of the aftercare we would face, then this Dr. would not be a good choice for us. We ended up at St. Joes East and I haven't any regrets going there. I have read some profiles around here that Dr. Gagliardi is a good surgeon, but his main practice (as I understand it) is in Ohio. The aftercare factor was very important to me and my husband, so it played a major role in our decision not to go with Dr. Gagliardi. I highly recommend St. Joes East for bariatric surgery. They are resourceful, thorough, and completely supportive of ALL their patients. By the way, you look great! Congratulations on your success. Dee

Hi Pamela, Like Dee I had my surgery at St Joe east with Dr Steiner. He is a WONDERFUL doctor. I am very impressed with the level of care I got while in the hospital with my wls as well as with a hernia I had a few weeks ago. I would recommend the team at St Joe East to anyone!

Hey there! I just had the bypass done and I had Dr. John Oldham in Georgetown (about 15 min. from Lexington). I am 3 weeks post-op and have done fantastic. The staff at Georgetown Bariactric Center are so kind and helpful in whatever you need. Go to their website and you can learn alot about them. Georgetown Bariactric.com Thoughts and Prayers Melissa
