Hi all! Just getting started-still in the pre-appointment stages and just curious to know if anyone else is using Transformations at River Oaks in Flowood, MS? Thanks for your time.

I'm from Ridgeland and just saw this thread and thought it would be neat to chat with a bunch of other MS and maybe even tri county area folks! I had my surgery with Dr. Kenneth Vick on Monday, 12/9/13! I am doing great but sooooooooooooooooo ready for the puréed stage!! I work at UMC in Flowood,MS at our Grants Ferry clinic. Love to hear from some of you!! Elizabeth Beasley

Hi! I'm Janine and was sleeved on 9/24/2013. I'm 40 pounds down and still learning! I didn't use transformations so my post surgical protocol is a lot different. Good luck and keep us posted!

Welcome. I was sleeved on 11/11 by Dr. Carrol. I'm down about 40 lbs total. Down 23 since surgery. I used to work for UMC, but I now work for Ms State Hosp (Whitfield)

I have my consultation appointment on tuesday to start the process to get gastric bypass. As a state employee how long is the supervised diet with Dr. Carroll?

Hello, I am from Pearl but did not use any program around here. I was self pay because my BCBS of MS would not pay. I went to Mobile Al because all of the programs around here were $3000 to $5000 higher. My total cost was $11,900 (including BLISS insurance) + $127.00 for my initial appointment. I was sleeved on 10/24/13

I went to a one initial appointment with some jerk doctor at St. Dominic (their program for self pay was less than Transformations) and I paid $300 for him to be a jerk to me.

He had only preformed 75 surgeries He is also associated with Transformations in Flowood.

Hey everyone!! I'm a Mississippi girl too!! I live in Iuka. I have BCBs ins that has the bariatric exclusion so I'm having to pay out of pocket. I considered Mexico but decided I want someone closer if I had complications. I have my initial consult with Dr Pinson this coming Wed. Excited and nervous.
