Did you have your surgery in KY? If so, what surgeon?

Hello, fellow Kentuckians! I am new to OH and new to the exploration of WLS.  I was wondering if you had your surgery in KY.  If so, what surgeon did you choose? Thanks for your input!

I had mine with Dr. Thompkins at KDMC in Ashland, KY.  I lived in Prestonsburg at that time and it was the closest facility.  I am happy with my results.  Living in AL now!

Good luck to you!

I live in Barboursville, WV. I had my surgery at KDMC as well. Dr. Wheeler was my surgeon. Very happy with the results. December will be 5 years.

Ive not have surgery yet but I go to Jeffery Allen in Louisville Ky 

Which surgery type are you having? I am considering VSG and I would like to know if anyone at Norton does them.  I guess I will find out on Sat. because I am attending one of their surgical seminars.

No Ive not had surgery yet just waiting on insurance, Im having RNY and DR Jeffery Allen is my surgeron yes he does the sleeve I like nortons myself

Kathy-

That is so weird because this morning I talked to one of the nurse navigators with the Norton group, I think that's what they are called, and she said that 80% of their surgeries are lap-band.  She said there are 7 surgeons in the group, and I am thinking, "All they do are lap bands all day long"?! Anyway, Dr. Allen is supposed to be leading the seminar on Saturday and I do hope that he is there because I want to ask him about the possibility of getting a VS.  I really prefer the sleeve and hope that Norton's does them.

that is weird just talk to DR Allen when you go and please go early I when 10 mins early and they  had done started  and you can look him up to that what I did but he did a family members surgery. wish you the best of luck   please keep in touch

Yes, but if I knew then what I know now, I would make sure of the aftercare policies.
