I have Dr. Spann as well at Vanderbilt. Have not had surgery yet but so far so good.

When do you plan on having your surgery?

Dr Spann through Vanderbilt. He was wonderful.

I am with Dr. Spann @ Vandy as well. I've only met him once for my initial consult but just from our conversation, I feel like I am in good hands!

I hope to have surgery in December. If all goes well they will submit my documents to insurance after my Phyc eval that's on the first week of November. I am not sure how backed up he is. I hear Dr. Williams is backed up a bit.

My surgery was 9/28/15 with dr Spann.

How long did it take you after you were approved with insurance to get a date for surgery with him?

I had Dr Houston too!!

Don't you just love that entire group? From what I've seen on this forum, we are very lucky to have found such a great place. Their follow-up and access to professionals for the rest of our lifetime seems to be unmatched anywhere else! I've been very pleased.

I was approved on a Thursday spoke to the schedule lady the following Monday and was set for pre op within two weeks. Then from the pre op appointment to surgery was two weeks.

      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! 😞
