Have you been to the WLS seminar?
Knoxville Seminar When:Tue, April 26, 5:30pm – 7:00pm Where:Class Room of Parkwest Hospital (9352 Park West BLVD, Knoxville, TN 37923)
Contact the Patient Advocate at (865) 694-9676 to register for an informational seminar

 I had a DS (duodenal switch) with Dr.Boyce in Oct 2009. He later took out my gall bladder and did a VSG (vertical sleeve gastrectomy) on my daughter in Oct 2010. He is a reputable and highly respected surgeon. As a physician and person he is compassionate and down to earth. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions or want to meet up  and go together to the North Knox group. 

Hi Gracee,
I received a call from Sandra Hatcher the facilitator of the North Knox group saying we would not meet April 21.

I haven't been to the North Knox group but I hear great things about it!

Dr. B? You are in the best of hands..he did my lap RNY, then my gallbladder removal, then internal hernia repair. Excellent bedside manner and very reputable.
Congrats!

Dr. Boyce is doing my RNY on 6/6/11.  I'll be attending the Fountain City support group for the first time next month.  I hope to see you there.  Looks like that will be 5/19. 

Thanks for the input ).. Had my consult today. He seems to be just what I was looking for. I have the ball rolling ) As for the support group I will plan on being there also... Look forward to meeting you all..
