Hey Yall.....I just joined this site....anyways, I am using Dr. Woodman in Memphis for Gastric Sleeve surgery. I was curious......I have BCBS of TN, and have to do the 6 month medically supervised diet (along with the other stuff mentioned in other posts). When you finished your 6 month diet how many (Physician Supevised Diet Record sheets-that woodmans office wants you to use at eac visit) did you have? 6 or 7 sheets?? My 1st appointment was 10-29-15 and today was my 6th visit......I asumed today was my last visit, but not sure about the technical aspect of what 6 months mean..........So to all you Woodman patients.....how many sheets did you have?

I have UHC and I completed the 6 month diet and only had to turn in 6 sheets

Congrats on your approval. I'm scheduled to get my labs and xray done April 5th and my EDG done on April 15th. I will have an appt with Dr Woodman the week after that and get my surgery date then. It getting closer amd I'm already getting nervous. You and I should be pretty close to getting ours done around the same time. Good luck.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
