reconstruction surgery

For these of you who are on Tenn-Care Select, I have found a doctor in Davidson **** who will take our insurance for TT. Of course the surgery must be for medical reasons, but give it a try......Dr. Patikes or Dr. Hueneke... the phone number is 615-327-0303. The lady which answered the phone was very nice. So I go April 5 and will soon find out if I can get anything done. Wish me luck. I know I am only 8 months out but my doctor seems to think I will only lose another 10-15 pounds. And now would be a good time to start checking. I started at 288, down to 154 and would like to end up 135-140. This whole thing has been like a dream, a good one at that. Because I have done so well, my husband now has an appointment with my doctor for gastric surgery and will see her the same day I see about TT. So it should not be too long before he will be down to a nice size also. Good luck to all and give the doctor a call. The sooner the better. Karen RNY6-30/288-154-145 soon

Hi Karen, wow that's great on the weightloss. I'm at 283, and want to be down to 130 lbs. You give me hope that I'll be able to lose most of mine within a year. Thank you for the info on the Dr. I'm sure a lot will be happy to know that there is a Dr. out there who can help them. I will store this info away for now. I am still a pre-op for another couple of weeks, and hopefully I will get my surgery date. I just want to wish you all the best and good luck with the rest of your journey. You are doing great. Always, Kathy
