I had my surgery done in Memphis. Great experience.

[VivaDiva01 53]

Yay, that's where I am...St. Francis???

[delta_girl 931]

Midsouth Bariatrics, Baptist East on Walnut Grove.

[VivaDiva01 53]

Oh, I'm going through St. Francis....are there any other support groups around here???

[delta_girl 931]

There is a great support group through Dr. Woodman's Club New You out of Baptist East, but I would guess that there are many others out there. I just don't know about them. I haven't gone to any post-op seminars or meetings. I just visit this forum from time to time. It's a good resource and a lot of experiences are shared here.

[VivaDiva01 53]

Yes, this is a good resource and st. Francis has a support group too...but I just like to mingle a little more! Lol, thanks for replying so fast!!!!

[delta_girl 931]

I travel constantly between TN, AR, and MS, so it makes participation with established groups pretty much impossible.

[VivaDiva01 53]

Yea, that makes since!

I have a friend who had a gastric bypass done at St Francis about 4 months ago. She has lost about 70 lbs and is doing great. She had a great deal to lose so has had much faster progress than I have. Everything about her looks better ..her skin, her hair, her shape, her smile. She is radiating happiness.

[VivaDiva01 53]

Yea, it's so encouraging to people who have done it and are successful and I really like the people at St. Francis!!!

No, I haven't even gotten a surgery date yet! Hopefully it'll be sometime this summer, but I still have 2 more "weight loss attempt" appointments with my pcp before ins will approve it!
