May I ask who your surgeon's are??

Hello everyone!! I am still here, reading everyone's post's. Not really much to say, but wanted to see how everyone was doing. Do we (TN) have a smaller board? or do we not post as often? May get to have my surgery this year. Will send in my approval request as soon as I get my Support group /Nut. class done. I had to buy another car, not new, so I haven't been able to get there. I wanted to ask if anyone here is using Dr. Michael Hodge in Johnson City? Just wanted to know if anyone has had any experience with this group. Thank's for listening, Sara.

Hi Sara, Dawn Bolin had them along with others. They're are a good group. Best of luck to you. Kathy

Thank's Kathy. How are thing's coming with your surgery? I know it's just a few day's till you see your other Dr. isn't it? Best of luck to you. Love to all, Sara.

I see my Oncologist tomorrow rather today at 1:30pm. A little nervous as I haven't heard hot my blood work has come out, or what the white cells are doing. I will post today when I get home. Love Kathy I'm working with Dr. Colquitt as my surgeon out of Maryville.

I had Dr. Watson, who is Dr. Hodge's partner. The support group meets on the 2nd friday of each month at the Johnson City Medical Center on the 7th floor in Auditoium 2. Pre-opt meets at 5 pm. with the post-opt at 6 pm. The office manager, Judy, from Watson and Hodge's office attends these meetings. The Nutrition class, you will have to schedule a date for that, and it is usally on a Wednesday night at The mall. They have them about once a month. That number is 423-5551. Have you had the Psy evaluation yet? The head of the support group is Pat Cline, she is also the Weightloss Surgery Co-ordinator for the hospital. Her work phone number is 423-431-1449. The group is pretty much split on who had Hodge or Watson. Those who have had Hodge all talk about how good he is.

Hi Virginia, This is Sara. I get all the mailings from the group so I see you quiet a bit. Joking w/Betty? I think that's the one. I need to get to the group meeting, but not having a car has been tough. Thank God I have one now! I have spoken w/Pat several times also. Thank you for the #'s, I can write those down. Thank you for replying. Love to all, Sara.

Ok, I know I am slow, but really!! I don't know why I didn't see your question earlier. LOL!!! Yes, I have had my psych. eval. some time ago. I have had the upper G.I also. I am just waiting till I can do the support & nut. class. Thank's for listening. Sara.
