Frustration in finding the best surgeon...
Hey all - wondered if anyone was still active on this forum. I am in between Louisville and Lexington, and looking at having the VSG. I am having some difficulty finding enough information on all the local surgeons to choose one. There just aren't very many reviews on HealthGrades or on Google, on which to base a decision.
I could really go to either Lou or Lex, though Louisville is a bit closer, so I'd love to hear recommendations for either place.
I can recommend Dr. Derek Weiss in Lexington. He his WLS at Baptist Health Hospital.
At https://www.baptisthealth.com/lexington/Pages/services/bariatric-care.aspx, you can read about the practice and download the new patient packet to complete.
I had lapband surgery with Dr. Weiss in 2006 and am now completing surgery clearance to remove the lapband and have gastric sleeve surgery.
The office staff are wonderful, and the educational element of the program is exceptional.
Best wishes on your decision!
Kathy
