:)Dr Weaver at Saint Francis Hospital in Memphis. She has the best team. My patient advocate & dietician are so helpful. Everything went great.

I have surgery scheduled with Dr. Wegner on 4/25! Noticed another couple of members posting on other threads in Memphis also. So glad to hear you've all had good experiences.

@@tink3408 - I'm now 4-days post-op with Wegner and have found him to be a bit of a fast-talker (and one nurse said he does upwards of 8 surgeries a day?) but when I told him I had questions in the hospital and had written them down, he sat on my bed and said "I'm all yours... let's talk through them." I've found it hard to get through to a nurse for questions post-surgery though and ended up having to call the front desk for answers (leaving a message did not help). I didn't consider my questions an emergency, but they do send you home with an emergency number and I'd suggest using that for any question you want his direct answer to, whether you consider it a true "emergency" post-surgery or not. I waited a whole day in pain without answers because I was trying to be polite.

Just in case you have some of the same nurses, my favorites were Amber and Sharon. I only had one nurse I really didn't like. Once I complimented them and/or asked them about their lives, they all warmed up so much and would spend extra time with me making sure everything was taken care of. Buddy up with them as you can and WALK! Wegner does his rounds at 7:30ish-9:30ish (am). I was discharged by noon 2 days post-op.

Good luck to you!!
