Gastric Bypass in Memphis



Recommended Posts

Has anyone had gastric bypass with Dr Wagner at St Francis in Memphis Tennessee? I got the approval from the insurance but still waiting on my patient advocate to call me for a date. Just need some advice

I am using them too. My surgery date is the 16 of January. Dr. Weaver left the practice when her contract was over so it is just Dr. Wegner. I have Betty Coble as my patient advocate. I started my journey with a surgery consultation on March 15, 2017.

I have Betty as well. She is really nice. How long did it take her to call you and set a date? I have my approval but no date

I know I have to reach my insurance deductible. I’m nervous though because I was told that you have to pay something before your surgery date is set. My only thing is I hope Betty calls me soon because I want to be fully recovered y my graduation in March

How soon after you got your insurance approval did Betty contact you for a surgery date?

My insurance required another meeting in November with the nutrionist and the doctor. I assumed mine would have been in the summer. I got my surgery date at my last appointment on November 1.

Well I don't have an exact date she just told me based on my pre op date she said it should be at the end of February

This is going to be horrible for me. I don’t have a pre op date which means mine may be around that time as well. This also means my birthday, Feb 24th, might be spent in the hospital. And then after that, I graduate grad school March 3rd. I really pay I can have everything done before then.

It is normally 2 weeks after preop testing and registration that you would start your 2 week diet. I would email her and call her. She may be out of office again.

I emailed her and she said she would call me. Any idea what the preop testing consists of? I thought I was done with all of that.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
