Ok. I am still months out from my surgery. I should be approved in December. My last class will be December 3rd. And shortly after that will be surgery. Here is where the anxiety comes in. My husband, children and I will be moving to TN within the year. We are currently in TX. So how will that work as far as postoperative appointments are concerned? Will I have to find a new doc? Come back to TX for appointments? Etc. Advice needed

because bariatric surgery is done all over the U.S. I would imagine your surgeon here in TX would refer you to someone in the area you are moving to. I wish you all the success with your pending surgery. You won't regret it.

My family is in Houston but I live M-F 4 hours away in SA. (Laid off in Houston.) I am having my surgery in SA and recovering alone as my insurance will pay more for the hospital here. My physician said I could recover at home and he could refer me to a physician there. But I decided I will be more comfortable staying near him at least for the first month in case of complications. But you can do your post-op anywhere as long as your physician approves. People who go to Mexico come back right away then follow up with local docs. Good luck with your surgery and your move! I love Tennessee!

I completely forgot about the Mexico sleevers! This makes me feel better. Thank you!

I'm in TN. My dr is great! What part of the state will you be living?

My brother inlaw and his wife live in Collierville. It really depends on where my husband gets a job. But we're looking from there over to Jackson.

We are near Chattanooga. We used to live in Memphis. I will ask around for you.

Thank you!!!
