Baboo got a reaction from Trish Allen in Need Info on Dr. McDowell at Baptist in NashvilleHi Jenny,
Sorry I didn't answer before now, but I didn't get on the computer yesterday. I loved Dr. McDowell. He is a wonderful caring doctor. I had my surgery on July 15 so I'm a week out from surgery. At the last minute I change my mind and had the more drastic RNY surgery. I think it was the right decision for me.
I have Medicare insurance so I had a six month waiting period but then I was able to schedule surgery once I had jumped through all their hoops.
Everyone I have dealt with at their office is great. You will be in good hands. I would suggest attending the support group their office sponsors and also go to the gatherings the people have put together on their own. The support of people who have gone before you will be invaluable.
I wish you the best of luck
