Hi,

I am having my EGD on 10/5/10. I should then get my surgery date. Any fellow Tennesseans out there about to have the surgery that can over any support?:smile:

Nashville here :smile: My surgery is scheduled for Oct 7th, I'm having it at Vanderbilt. I've been jumping thru hoops since January to fulfill all the insurance requirements.

Good luck to you :yesnod:

Me too. I have Cigna and had to wait about 4-6 weeks to get my approval. I had to do the 6 mos supervised diet as well. I'm at the home stretch so hopefully I will be banded in Oct. Dr George Woodman (Memphis Tn) is doing my surgery. Keep me posted on your progress.

I'm in Smyrna! I've had my band since May 24! I'm doing well. I'm actually going to my band support group tonight! I had mine done at Baptist in Nashville by Dr. Morton. They are a great group!!:mad: I had Cigna insurance through the state! I jumped all the hoops! I was denied in the beginning and then when they reapplied I was having surgery 12 days later!

I am glad things worked out for you. I know that the waiting game is the hardest part. I am anxious and nervous at the same time. Hopefully I will have my date next week. Take care.

I am in Tennessee too. I live in Murfreesboro but see Dr. Spaw at Baptist (same group as Dr. Morton I believe) I am going through my 90 day diet plan with their office (Aetna requirement). I am hoping to have my surgery in December. Where do you go for your support groups? I know there is one that meets at Stonecrest on like the 4th Saturday of the month but I missed it this month..I would like to find a regular one.

I'm in TN too - awaiting approval by insurance. Going to have Dr. Spaw at Baptist do mine as well. Anyone have BCBS? My paperwork was submitted 11/22. Any encouragment, help, guidance... anything would be greatly appreciated.
