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'm also in Nashville. My surgery was with Dr. Houston at Centennial. Love 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'm from Etowah. It's between knoxville and Chattanooga.

I like in Kentucky but my sister and her family live near you in Chattanooga. Go Hurricanes!

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'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? 🤷‍♀️
