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

They finally got a date of aug 2nd and he said he said he's doing us 3 that day. I'm the 2nd surgery so which one are u? We may meet after all. Soooo excited.

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.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
