Hi all, I was wondering if anyone has used Dr. Rose in Chattanooga TN. I want to know the good, the bad, and the ugly.

Thanks,

Kim

Hi. Sorry, I didn't use Dr. Rose. I used Dr. Ponce here in Chattanooga. Is Dr. Rose in the bariactric group at Memorial?

Dr. Ponce uses the bariactric clinic there for his psychiactric evaluation and nutrition class. Everyone that I met there was really nice. The clinic was really nice. I think I am even allowed to go to support groups over there. I don't know about that doctor in particular, but their services that I dealt with were top notch. That is also where I had my surgery. If their services are any thing to go on, you should be in good hands. I had already gone through most of the process with Dr. Ponce by the time I found out that memorial had a bariactric clinic. Good luck to you!

I was wondering if anyone has been able to find anyone that can or will do the surgery for less then 10K? I see the numbers 4500 a lot but not seen anything confirming I could get this done for that amount? Anyone's advised would be greatly appreciated.... Also I have no insurance so that is the reason for the question. Looking in Chattanooga, Dalton area if possible. Thanks to anyone that can help.

      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.
