Knoxville here! Surgery tomorrow

Who is your surgeon in Knoxville? I had Dr Williams at new life bariatric 5 weeks ago. Great surgeon, great support staff.

@@Nikke25, I didn't get that date from Vandy, that's the date ins. provided. I'm not sure how they come to that date but I did call and ask "what if" I couldn't take off work during that time or the surgeon/ hospital can't accommodate those dates and she said they would have to do another review. So now just crossing my fingers that everything comes together!! Please keep me updated on yours!

Oh wow.... another review just for a date change? Hopefully, they can fit you in for December. They told me Dr. Spann has a few more dates open for December
I got my date for Dec. 28th!!! It is becoming so real now! Super excited and nervous but more happy!! I'm thinking positive and I am not going to let this second chance go to waste :')

Surgery went well. Better than I expected really. I got to go home today. I've had minimal pain and haven't took any pain meds. Sipping and walking and sipping and walking.

Knoxville here! Surgery tomorrow

Question and please go easy on me! You can't make me feel any worse than I already do, trust me! Ok, so here's my question. Will the surgeon still do the surgery if you've gained weight since approval? I actually gained the weight while waiting on approval and have worked hard to get it off this week but the scale is not moving!! Pre op is on the 17th. I'm not on a required liquid diet although I almost wish I was made to! I tried only liquids all morning and made it to 4:00 and my stomach was SCREAMING for food! Kudo's to those of you who have to do it for two weeks!!

I'm from Knoxville. Dr Boyce from New Life Center performed my sleevectomy January 13th 2015. I'm almost a year out and down over 180LBS. Though there have been a few rough patches(Mostly emotional/No physical complications), all in all everything has gone very smoothly and I'm extremely satisfied with my decision to have surgery.

APPROVED!!!!!! for surgery. After calling the insurance company every day they called me today to tell me I was approved. Too bad I the doctor has no more dates available this month because they told me I have met my deductible if I have it done this month I would have minimal out of pocket expense. Hopefully I can get a date for the begining of the year.

Hopefully, they put you on the call back list in case they have a cancellation! Congrats on approval!!

I didn't even know they do that. Since I have bothered them enough might as well bother them just a little more and ask. Either way, I am happy, ready to start the new year on the losing waggon. Lucky for you that they got you in right before the new year.

I'm not sure that they do but I would think so. Sure wouldn't hurt to ask! Yes, I am glad they got me in when they did!

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
