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

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
