Anyone on here from Tennessee?

I've had mine I'm almost 7 years post op. I'm new in this site so finding my way around. ????

I'm in Nashville! Surgery date is 11/10 with Dr. McDowell at St. Thomas Midtown. Good luck all!

Good luck to all on this amazing journey!! If anyone interested in the Nashville/Smyrna area to meet that would be great.

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 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?

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.

Yes they are great!!! ❤️

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.

That is encouraging to hear!! I have my last supervised weight loss visit with my PCP, Thurs. the 29th and everything else has been done so I was hoping for a Nov./Dec. date! I've already met my deductible and everything so I would hate to have to pay all that out again!! What Ins. are you with? I'm with Cigna...
