All the best to you and your wife. Dr. Woodman is an awesome surgeon. He's a bit blunt but its necessary.

My dad is a state employee also but he has Cigna. We live closer to Knoxville but Centennial in Nashville was the closest place to us that accepted his. I'm happy with the surgeon we chose. I just had surgery Monday so don't have a lot of stats for you but that's all the info I have as far as state employees insurance goes

I've slowed to 1-2 pounds a week. When you slow down and u will don't get discouraged.

It's hard not to get discouraged. I've been back in forth over 5lbs for 2 months now.
