Are any of you guys in Tennessee???

I had my surgery done in Memphis. Great experience.

Yay, that's where I am...St. Francis???

Midsouth Bariatrics, Baptist East on Walnut Grove.

Oh, I'm going through St. Francis....are there any other support groups around here???

There is a great support group through Dr. Woodman's Club New You out of Baptist East, but I would guess that there are many others out there. I just don't know about them. I haven't gone to any post-op seminars or meetings. I just visit this forum from time to time. It's a good resource and a lot of experiences are shared here.

Yes, this is a good resource and st. Francis has a support group too...but I just like to mingle a little more! Lol, thanks for replying so fast!!!!

I travel constantly between TN, AR, and MS, so it makes participation with established groups pretty much impossible.

Yea, that makes since!

I have a friend who had a gastric bypass done at St Francis about 4 months ago. She has lost about 70 lbs and is doing great. She had a great deal to lose so has had much faster progress than I have. Everything about her looks better ..her skin, her hair, her shape, her smile. She is radiating happiness.

Yea, it's so encouraging to people who have done it and are successful and I really like the people at St. Francis!!!

I am in Tennessee. I am having surgery at vanderbilt on may 1st.

No, I haven't even gotten a surgery date yet! Hopefully it'll be sometime this summer, but I still have 2 more "weight loss attempt" appointments with my pcp before ins will approve it!
