I had gastric bypass in late 2003. I ended up losing my insurance shortly after the surgery so never saw the doctor that performed it again. I am looking for a group that will help with fitness and nurtrition and a PCP that knows about and understands post opp treatment.
Let me know if any knows any info in Knoxville.

Don't know if he is accepting new patients but our PCP is worth a shot. We are teaching him about post op treatment but you still have to ADVOCATE for yourself. His name is John H. Cooper at University Internal Medicine. (there are TWO Dr. John Cooper's here in town so be sure of the office.

As far as post-op nutrition...the vets are your BEST source. NOT the NUTS attached to doctor's offices.
