I didn't know who to pick so I chose at random. Dr. Houston seems nice, but very businesslike. That's ok though. I've heard all three are really good. I'm really impressed with the program. It's really well organized.

I'm transferring to MTSU for Spring 2013 semester (Move date sometime in the middle of January) and so I'm looking for support groups in Murfreesboro? Anyone know a good place to start looking? I'm going into this move some what blind, I don't know anyone in Murfreesboro and I don't know much (if anything) about the town. I don't think I'll have my surgery in Tennessee because I'm still on my parent's insurance and apparently it is trickier to find an in network doctor and on down the line, so I will most likely have it done in Alabama.

My Dr is in Murfreesboro at MTMC. He is awesome. Dr. Westmoreland. He has a support group there too. Not sure if it is open to all, but I am headed there this morning. My son is a student at MTSU in his 3rd year. Let me know if I can help in any way.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
