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?

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
