I had my surgery in 2002 at baptist with dr husted and over the past couple of years Ive struggled with gaining back weight. Im looking to get a stomaphyx with a local surgeon but I have to get my operative notes, preoperative notes, and the notes from my last office visit with dr husted in order to even get a consultation. I have no way of getting a hold of his office cause I have no idea where his office has moved to. Does anyone have any information?

 I thought when Dr. Husted was in KY he was only at Somerset.  I have a couple of friends that may know where he is now.  You may also find something out by going to the DS board.  I think he left KY and for some reason I want to think he is only do consultations now.  I did find this on his website.

His site still lists he is in Somerset, so I honestly have no idea, but will check with my friends and ask.  

 I asked both of my friends that might have known where he was an neither of them did.  One said last she heard he was in AZ.  Hope you have found help by now. 

 I tried to find him to, and heard he had had a "professional breakdown".  While he is a brilliant surgeon, I was advised not to try to use him.  I was also looking for a weight-loss surgeon I had seen a couple of times back in 2006.  He seems to have had a lot of trouble and has moved around a lot to different states.  The weight-loss office is still there, but I was told the Doctor would have the records.  I was out of luck.  Then one day, his transcriptionist send me a couple of pages, but it was enough to help.  She advised me to contact the medical records office at the hospital where he operated.  They were able to send me quite a few records including some that involved him.  I just asked for everything from 2004 (when I had my RNY-but not at that hospital) to 2007 because I wasn't exactly sure of  the year I saw him.

I also got an email from someone at www.obesityhelp.com that had this advise:

Someone has sent in the following answer to you:

I work in a PCP office in this type of position.  This doctor I understand has \"disappeared\" but he is somewhere and so is all of his information unless he doesn't\'t mind going to prison when he reappears.  If he is somehow affiliated with a hospital contact the hospital medical records department and ask them for who is handling his patients records retrieval since he is no longer practicing. If not contact the medical board in your state advise them your Dr has come up missing with your records and they should have information also.  If there is something specific you need for your new PCP at least start getting records from your specialists because those will contain a little bit of the information.

I hope this helps.  Dr. Husted was also in CA for a time.  

I am really mad I need my records and i cant find this dr so i can get them. I need a revison surgery and no dr will even speak to me if i cant produce records from when i had my original surgery. Someone out there must know something. I remember he had a nurse named Jamie back at that time so if anyone knows anything pleae contact me at seaspence@yahoo.com

 Call the http://asmbs.org/  ASMBS and ask if they know where he is.  Call the American Medical Association.  Call anyone that deals with physicians they should be able to help.  I agree it sucks that he ran out on his patients, but apparently he has a habit of doing this.  Call KY Board of Medicine or whatever it is called, they should have info as to where he has gone.
