Dr. Matthew Mancini - Dr. Mancini & The Tennessee WLS Center



Recommended Posts

I have been going to UT's weight loss and surgery center since Nov, 2008. Lynn and the office staff have made my 6month insurance required medically supervised office visits a very smooth process. I was recently approved by Cigna and will be having my surgery June 5th by Dr. Matthew Mancini who I have personally met twice durning my process. Tessa the centers dietician is a valuable resource as well as Lynn. I am very happy with my progress and several co-workers (5 so far) are either done with their surgery or are in the process. I would highly reccomend their program...

I have an appointment on 11/2/11 with Dr. Mancini, or i suppose my first visit is with the PA i was told on the phone. I am very excited, the receptionist told my my insurnce (bcbs IL) covered the procedure, so if all goes well hopefully i will have Dr. Mancini doing my lapband. I just really wanted to talk to former pts of his.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
