Dr. William Gibson in Memphis, TN



Recommended Posts

What a wonderful doctor. He is a partner of Dr. Virgina McGrath-Weaver (who is also wonderful but totally booked for months and months). He did a fabulous job on surgery day spoke to me two times post op and my DH twice. He is very professional and is super nice too. He was very good at explaining things to my DH and myself and was impressed with my knowledge of the procedure (thanks lapbandtalk.com and people on here!). He even "reused" two of my gallbladder surgery scars and they look better at two weeks post surgery than they did one year after my gall bladder removal.

I will know more about his fill technique and how agressive (or not) he is with fills on Dec. 2. I am loving that I will possibly be getting a fill only one month post surgery.

I would highly recommend him to anyone. If you were origionally going to see Dr. McGrath-Weaver and liked her but didn't want to wait 3-4 months to schedule surgery, make an appointment with Dr. William Gibson and see if you don't like him too. I had my surgery date scheduled for just 3 weeks after my initial visit with him and have been super satisfied so far.

I am down 20 lbs since I started my pre-op on Oct. 14th, 2008! Hope to be under 200 lbs in the next 6+ months.

If you would like to talk to me further regarding Dr. Will Gibson, please feel free to message me.

Hello I am using Dr. Virgina McGrath-Weaver and my surgery date is not until May 19. I have been finish with everything since Feb. But like you said she is booked for months. Well 2 days ago someone from her office called me to see if I wanted to use this other Doctor, Dr. William Gibson but I don't know anything about him but I don't know anything about her. I don't meet her for the first time until March 18. I don't know what to do. Is he in the same office. Anything you can tell me would be a great help Thanks

      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.
