I'm scheduled for surgery 8/27 in Memphis....looking for other Tennesseans to share the journey with. I'm both excited and scared.

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.

after surgeryt post op diet is 2weeks liquid, then 2 weeks full liquids and then onto a puree stadege. it is one of the strictist diets I have seen post op but they know what they are talking about! Im in smyrna btw

Hello I'm from Chattanooga area ! Working on getting my sleeve done.

Hello all!!! I live in the Cookeville area. Had sleeve surgery Oct 29, 2012. Dr. Hugh Houston at the Centenial Women's hospital. He is very abrupt but he did a wonderful job. No problems or difficulties so far!!!! Good luck to everyone on their journey

I am feeling great after surgery. I am just over 2 weeks out. Tolerating pureed and mushy foods well. Goodluck Jac and Douglas!! and Congrats Samantha!! Hope all is well

I had sleeve done 11/26. Dr. Olsen. I really like him. Doing pretty well. Trying to figure out how to get all the Protein in. Some better today

I had my surgery October 23 in Vanderbilt with Dr. Williams. Everyone was great. The hospital care, not so good. I have lost almost 30 pounds. I live in Middle Tn.

GO VOLS! I'm around Knoxville but went to Mexico for my sleeve.

Nutrition class today and psychological eval. Thursday ... Getting a little scared about this

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.

I'm in Nashville. Sleeved April 24, 2012 by Dr. McDowell at Baptist.

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 live in the Boro. Dr westmorland is my doctor. My surgery was Nov 14th.

The support group is open to all. It's at the buildings by the hospital

Thanks katsmeow. I have been to a couple of groups, but wasn't sure. You are doing great!! I haven't been doing nearly as well, but hope to catch up soon
