That sounds great. I have just started the initial steps for the sleeve procedure so hopefully will have surgery first of next year, but I have to lose between 20-25 lbs. before surgery.

I am also a TN. gal! Good luck and keep up the good work!

 Thank you so very much! I am very determined to find myself. I am 47 and am NOT getting any younger. Now if I could only find the guts to journal nightly that would be a huge accomplishment.
Where abouts in TN? I grew up North of Memphis. Brighton.

Hi there!...I saw that you are from Knoxville, my surgeon is located in Knoxville.  I'm new to the using the forum. Have  you had your WLS yet?

Hey Neighbor...you will have to ride on over and grab some coffee or water. My surgery will be done at UT Dr. Mancini is doing it. And no I haven't had it yet. I am still in the process....have done 3 of 6 visits. Went to inital Seminar and support group there UT last weekend..So hoping to have it in a couple of months.

I'm 48 so a little older and have been in good health but starting to see some severe joint stiffness and pain,etc. Which procedure are you having?

My insurance only covers the RNY or Band...My doc and I decided the band would be the best option and I am very comfortable with it.

I live between Knoxville and the Great Smoky Mtn. - the group I am going to is Foothills Weight Loss Specialist. Great educational and support groups. They had had good success with the sleeve procedure.
