Surgery Coordinator messaged me today to let me know Cigna approved my insurance packet. I see my surgeon on Monday, 5/16, and we should be able to set up a surgery date. I’m hoping for June 8 or later…but not too much later as I want to get this done. I will also be having a large hiatal hernia repaired during the gastric bypass.

Anyone use Dr. Hugh Houston Nashville, TN?
Nashvillemama posted a topic in Weight Loss Surgeons & Hospitals
Hi! I had the lap-band 12 years ago. I lost 80 pounds, but have gained back 40. I have band issues (vomiting, liquid in my throat when I wake up, reflux, etc.). I’m meeting with Dr. Houston to consult about a revision. Any one on here use him? Any positives or negatives? I’m self-pay. Thanks! -
Hello, I’m in the pre surgery stage and I have some very big concerns. First some background. I have treatment resistant depression, which means the psychiatric medication works less or not at all for me. I have to take high doses to get any results at all. I’m disabled by my depression permanently as it can not be well controlled consistently. The only thing that has helped consistently was electroconvulsive therapy, which they no longer will do because of my weight causing breathing problems during the procedure. My concern is that getting the surgery will make my depression even harder to treat because of malabsorption. I have kaiser so they don’t cover the sleeve or anything other than gastric bypass. I have a new psychiatrist that I’m meeting in a couple weeks but I have no idea if she will know anything about treating gastric bypass patients. Has anyone here with mental health disorders had a gastric bypass? How did it effect your treatment? Did you have to change your medication? Thank you for your time.
