Lifebeauty, Well I came back about 8 months after you wrote this, hope you see it. Lots has happened in my life and I need to get back on track and get the weight off that I gained plus lots more. Going to try to be more active here and get encouragement. Good to hear from you.

I'm near Paducah and use Brian Swain of Bariatric Solutions in Murray. It's a bit of a drive for you, but better than nothing at all. There's also support group that meets 1 Tuesday a month at 5:30pm and 1 Thursday a month at 11:30am. Oct 6th at 11:30 am is the next daytime meeting. The office is in Murray Calloway County Hospital
I just moved to Charlestown, IN, near Louisville, KY. I am in need of finding a bariatric surgeon to do my follow-up care with. I am also looking for a support group in the area to attend, I enjoy the friendships that have been made in my old group in Green Bay, WI.
Jackie, how are you? I haven't been on site in years but saw your pic and thought if you come back again you will see this. Need to get back on track as fills not working and I've gained weight. Hope you are doing well.

I wish you the best on your journey. Though I was never a lightweight, to be successful you need to stay focused. I caused my setback but it doesn't have to happen to you. Wishing you well. Also, don't be discouraged if you don't get many replies. Kentucky Forum has been notoriously slow for years.
Take Care,

Hi everyone. Just starting out on my WLS journey and wanted to introduce myself. I am a nursing student in Louisville, KY and I'm looking into the VSG. I have my first seminar tonight at Baptist East and I'm honestly pretty nervous. I'm what I guess most people in the WLS community would call a lightweight, but it sure doesn't feel that way.
My insurance is BCBS of Illinois and I just wanted to let everyone know that per my insurance rep. that I talked to today, BCBS of Illinois no longer requires a 6 month medically supervised weight loss before surgery. Just a letter of medical necessity and a Psych eval before and after surgery.
Anywho, looking forward to reading everyone's stories. Good luck to everyone on their journey!
Congratulations to you!
I am at the beginning of this new life, lifestyle improvement, Commitment to a better healthier me, so your words are very
encouraging and I can tell heartfelt. Congrats again to you and your success.
Hello friends!
We have had such great response from people booking hotel rooms for our Raleigh Conference, that our initial room block at the Embassy Suites sold out! We now have an overflow hotel nearby that is running a shuttle specific for our conference, from 5 am to midnight. This is in addition to their 24 hour airport shuttle. Info is below, and the last day to book is 9/15/15! Tell your friends!
We have set up an additional room block at Hyatt Place, a half-mile from the Airport and 4.5 miles from the Conference venue. Hyatt Place offers a complimentary shuttle to the airport and Conference. http://events.obesityhelp.com/2015-hotel-accommodations/
See you there!
Kim Gyurina, Event Manager
