UT MEDICAL band Patients that need fills



Recommended Posts

I had surgery at UT and both doctors are now gone. After having a long discussion with Dr. Woodman's office staff and then him personally, he has agreed to start accepting patients from Dr. Madan and Dr. Tichansky's practice that need follow up and fills. You will have to make sure they take your insurance the office is 901-869-2000,

I was kind of nervous at first because I have heard so much about Dr. Woodman's personality, but I have to tell you I was actually shocked to find that he was very nice and helpful when I went in. He listened to my questions and gave me a lot of helpful advice. His office staff are also great! They are so friendly and very easy to get on the phone if you need someone.

Any body else that got left with no where to turn I recommend using Dr. Woodman's office.

Good Luck with your weight loss! I don't have to starve anymore and I am loosing again! Yaaahoooo!!:)

OMG! Thank you so much! I have had my bad for over a year with no fills, tried to get into UT to find out in July they were closing! I contact Dr. Weaver had an appointment for October 22nd. They called me only to say" we are moving, call us in January to reschedule! WTH?

I called and got an appointment this month! They even said you dont have to go floroscopy to get the fill. They do it right in the office and you can even get a fill at your first visit if you need one.

The only down side is you do have to pay a $500 program fee... however the nurse did explain to me that this fee also pays for lifetime membership in the support groups with the nutritionist and psychologists. So you can actually get advice from them without having to pay to go see them again.

Thanks for letting us know he was accepting patients.

      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.
