HEY!! I had Dr. Morton to and I think he is great and very good bedside manner. I had mine at Baptist also and everything went right on time and his staff are great to. I guess Mai is my pick since I worked with her for years before she went to Baptist. And I went disabled. Just wanted to say hi! When did you have your surgery? I had mine July 30,07 I'm still kinda a newbie. Good Luck, Sharon

I HAD MY SURGERY AT BAPTIST AND THEY WERE ON TOP OF THEIR GAME. THEY DIDN'T LET ME HURT, THEY KEPT GREAT TABS ON MY CONDITION THE WHOLE TIME AND IN GENERAL THEY ARE VERY PREPARED FOR LAP BAND. AND THE SURGERY WAS A BREEZE, YOU MAY GO HOME THAT DAY OR STAY OVER NIGHT DEPENDS ON YOUR INSURANCE AND DOCTOR. GOOD LUCK.... SHARON :clap2:

I had my surgery with Dr Houston at Centennial in August. I had originally chosen to go with Husted/Spaw at Baptist. I do not think you will go wrong with either group. I am a little biased towards Dr Houston at Centennial but I think you would be making a wonderful decision either way.

Best of luck to you.

Hi I'm a newbie on here also. I am working with Dr. Spaws office for lapband. All I lack is my dr to send the 6 month information into Dr. Spaw and hopefully Cigna will approve me soon. I'm about to go nuts! I want this soooooo bad.

Dr. Morton performed my surgery 10 31 07 at Baptist. Everything was great. He has a wonderful bedside manner and made me and my husband feel at ease asking questions. Two days out and I painted my dining room this morning. Good luck! I am down approximately 16 lbs since October 10.

I ALSO HAD DR. MORTON AND HE IS GREAT. I THINK DR.SPAW IS IN THE SAME OFFICE AS DR. MORTON.

Hi ladies. How bad was the pre-op diet? I'm trying to get my self prepared for it. I also heard Dr. Morton was good. My gyn and her husband are friends with Dr. Spaw and she referred me to him. I just can't wait to loose the weight and be on my way to ONEderland!

Has anyone used Dr. McDowell at Baptist? I don't know much about him. I was referred to him by my primary doctor.

Also, does anyone go to the support group at Baptist that meets the 2nd Tuesday of the month. Is it any good, worth going to?

Baptist is a really great hospital. Dr.Spaw did my band an he is the greatest.

Hey all, I am in Murfreesboro and am having my LB done on Wed Dec 5th with Dr Eckles at MTMC. Dr Eckles/Dr Westmoreland's office and staff have been great! They provide awesome support and great advice. The support groups that are held there are great too. I have been really impressed so far.

How was the pre-op diet for you? I will start mine on Wednesday and I am a little bit anxious about. I know I can do it but it does feel a bit overwhelming.

I attended the seminar at Centennial and Dr. Houston was the speaker. He was great, but I read so many great things about Dr. Dyer online and his stats were awesome, so I chose Dr. Dyer. I am just awaiting a surgery date. The hospital staff and office staff I have come in contact with have been super to me. But I am sure either hospital will be great. I know a couple of people who had Dr. Husted for gastric bypass and they loved him.

I have my srugery date!! January 8th. I am to start my pre-ope diet Dec. 26th. Dr. Spaw was so nice to me and my mother. I go back next week for preop testing. I can't wait. Good luck to all. Merry Christmas!
