Question?
Hey Mark,
I can't answer your question but if you go to the top of the page, click on "bariatric surgeon", that will bring up a map, click on Tennessee. You'll see Dr. Woodman. Click on his name and on the left you will see a member directory that lists everyone that has joined OH that had surgery with him. You might consider sending someone (or all of them) a PM and ask this question. Or, just call his office and ask.

Mark,
Laura from Dr. Woodman's office told me that the consultation with Dr. Woodman is typically scheduled three weeks from the time the pre-op test results are in and "on the chart". Surgery can then be scheduled anywhere from a week to a month from the consultation. I guess it depends on how much pre-op weight Dr. Woodman wants the patient to lose, how busy he is, and whether or not any problems were found during the pre-op tests. Again, I'm a pending lap-band patient so I'm not sure if this time frame applies for anything but that. I hope this helps a little.

(P.S. I finished my pre-op testing on January 3rd and haven't been scheduled for a consultation yet either.)
