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.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
