Hi there! I am from Greeneville and will (hopefully) be having my surgery with Dr. K. Robert Williams (New Life) in Knoxville soon. They were submitting all my paperwork to insurance today so I have my fingers crossed!

I got a message from their office Friday saying I was approved. Then one right afterwards saying to disregard the previous email, as it was an error.

That was a little frustrating. Should know soon though!

Hello I live in Dandridge TN, which is near Knoxville. My surgery date is April 6th with Dr Stephen Boyce, I start my pre op diet tomorrow and my anxiety is growing every day, so I thought I would drop by here and try to make some friends, get some support and maybe even be a support person.

My mother's family is from there. Mcspadden & franklin. I love it up there. :-)

Hey fellow tennessee girls. I just noticed the replies to this thread! Its exciting to see pts of my surgeon too.anyone who wants to chat send me a message. I was going to message everyone close by but I could only send one. Hope everyone is well.

I am finally feeling human again. Had a rough go at first w my requirements and I am sick of this liquid diet. Can't wait to have real food again

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
