I am having my surgery in Shelbyville TN on Nov. 15th. I am a patient of Dr. Westmorland as well. Would be interested in hearing about your experience. I am struggling with the preop diet.

Dr Westmoreland is great and I have had a wonderful experience. I also was very pleased with my experience in the shelbyville hospital. I would do it again in a heartbeat. Just hang in there with the pre-op diet your surgery day will be here before you know it. I started at 240 and am currently 198.

Hi there! I've recently moved to Memphis and am looking for a few local sleeve buddies. My surgery was April 4th but I've quite honestly been doing horribly with my lifestyle changes. I'm down 40 pounds and I'm not gaining, but I am far behind where I should be. For the past week I've been working hard at getting my diet under control and working more activity into my day. I'm often at Shelby Farms dog park if anybody would like to get together for some walking!

My insurance (UHC) would only let me choose one of 3 surgeons at Centennial Medical Center. Criteria it had to be a center of excellence and ll that. I am just over the moon excited!!

      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!!
