I'm in Jackson, Tn. Right between Memphis and Nashville. I had my surgery at Gateway Medical Center in Clarksville 4/30/12 by Dr Crystal Twynham.

You are certainly NOT the only fat person in Tn! Lol

There are actually several TN. sleepers on this forum. There is another thread, I think it's got Nashville in the title. I live in Missouri right now, but I'm from the 'boro. Mom & most of her side of the family still live here.

I was one of the ones from the 28th. I am first on the 2nd. It just really needs to happen this time. I don't think I can handle another last minute call.

Me eighter girl, I was already off work for my fmla and I had to go back to work and redo all my paper work again. That's crazy how they did us. So I be there surgery right after u. That's amazing. What's the odds of there only being 3 of us that day with that dr and we find each other. Maybe we can walk the halls or some thing together after surgery. Lol hope ur surgey as wellas the rest of ours is great. How if u don't mind me asking, how much do u weigh and what is ur goal weight? I'm 298 and I want to be 150.

Before I had a small break down. After surgery walking the halls would be great and I weigh 290 & my long term goal is 150. So with all similarities it would be great to keep in communications with u.

Yea well I had ask them to replace my shake mix cuz it was so high and she told me she would ask him about it and let me know but she never called me again so I just went and got it myself. They said I only have to do 7 days of Protein Shakes this time is that what they told u? I'm gonna start them wed. Not looking forward to it at all. I live in Fayetteville T.N so its a 2 hr drive to lebanon for me. I wasted a lot of gas going back and forth for pre op and stuff to. Speaking of which have they called you for your pre op over the phone this time yet? They said they would call so I didn't have to go way back up there again but they havnt yet?

Tracey told me to start mine Sunday. So I guess I'm back on them as of tomorrow. Maybe u could get them to mail u a bag. They also said I would have pre-op over the phone this time but I haven't got it yet. I'm still nervous to actually plan this new date but I will be ready. As much as I have gone to their office & I live 10 minutes from there I couldn't imagine a 2 hour drive that often.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
