Sleevers with Dr. Woodman in Memphis TN



Recommended Posts

I have noticed that a lot of sleevers are very excited talking about their experiences with their surgeons except those of Dr. Woodman. I have read wonderful reviews on Dyer, Westmoreland, Houston to name a few. All sleevers with Dr. Woodman in Memphis TN please take a few mins to tell us newbies how the experience went---, surgery, pre-op, office staff, dos and don'ts, bedside manner of Dr and any bit of information that might help all those interested. And yes I have Aetna Open Choice. Thanks

No I am still hearing the same complaints about him and I am really worried. I am not sure my insurance will pay, I have Aetna with Baptist but I am considering going to centennial/tri star in Nashville

But I will give the benefit of the doubt that maybe he has come to know Jesus since that time period and is no longer a miserable asswipe. Good luck!

Actually, some of the meanest people I've met loudly proclaim that they know Jesus.

No kindness guarantee by association.

I have my first appointment with him scheduled on 7/14/16. (I think that’s the date). I work with Primary Care physicians who send a lot of patients his way, they alway had a positive referring relationship

Hi Jay2016 please keep me update. My first appt with him is 8/8/16. I have to do 6 months with Aetna started last week. Saw Psych and my first weigh-in, seeing his recommended RD on 7/15. I have called the office a few times with questions and they were very abrupt and not rude but cold like I was bothering them. My PCP is with Germantown Internal Medicine. I was warned by psych that he is not warm and fuzzy, he can be quite rude but an excellent surgeon. We will see. I need warm and fuzzy....lolll. Anyway do you mind keeping in touch?

      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. 🤞
