Just curious. I will probably go to Park West Weight Loss Center. You?

I am originally from Crossville, but I am living in Kentucky right now. I was originally going with Dr. Olsen in Nashville, but found out that the only two surgeons in Tennessee that were in-network for me were Dr. Boyle at Parkwest and Dr. McGrath-Weaver in Memphis. I considered Dr. Boyle, but I ultimately decided to go to Dr. McGrath-Weaver instead. I haven't heard anything bad about Dr. Boyle, but I haven't really heard anything good, either. From what I have been able to find, he isn't that experienced with lap-bands. According to the Obesity Help website (which I know isn't up to date), he has only done about 20 lap-bands.

Have you looked into the surgeons in Nashville? Dr. Hugh Houston at Centennial is supposed to be an expert in lap-bands.

Im originally from Crossville but have lived in Nashville for about 4 years. I would suggest Dr. Morton in Nashville. Here is the link to the website. http://www.southernbariatricsolutions.com/ I had a great experience. I have lost over 30lbs since Jan. 10th.(i Havent weighed in over a week. Im sure its closer to 38 or so now) I had surgery on the 24th.
