I Second THAT!!! I am from Middle TN also. Dr. Eckles banded me on May 2nd. He is great and I just love his staff. They went to bat for me with the insurance company, followed-up and stayed on top of it until I got my approval. Just cant say enough good things about them.

I'm in Nashville and have my doctor's appointment with Dr. Olsen at Centennial this Thursday June 8. I am also a self pay because my insurance won't pay for it.

The cost above is exact and when you self pay, Dr. Olsen cut 15% off of his fee.

The cost of the sugery does not include his office consultation $230.00 and the cost of the psychologist they send you to before the surger. I think the psychologist is $290 or $390.

I am excited. From what I've read/heard of Dr. Olsen is that he cares for his patients yet he is a strict Dr and will tell you how things are even if you don't want to hear it. This is the type of Dr. I need.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
