If you TennCare/Medicaid don't go to the seminar at Gateway.  They do not take the insurance.  I didn't find out until after I drove all the way up there. Go to this one instead and save yourself the time.

 Hey are u going this coming Monday??

Hello Friends!   I’m helping out OH by coordinating the fashion show models for the October Atlanta Conference. Below is some information they’d like you to know so you can come join us and show off on the catwalk!   Remember, EVERYONE is invited to participate, men and women. All you have to do is bring an outfit you’d like to be photographed in.   Email to [email protected] your photos and information: ·        High resolution before and after photos ·        Your full name, OH screen name, surgeon, surgery type and (optional) amount of weight lost This is your chance to shine and to show everyone what a great job you’ve done. It’s also a way to let the community know who your surgeon is.   PM me if you have questions, or email [email protected]. We will be accepting your photos and info until early September, but don’t wait too long!     Thank you!

Hi just and update  let you know my DS is set for August 7 and I have my pre-op on July 16th, hope you are doing good and everything is going well with you..

 I just went to the seminar for Dr. Kent in Lebanon a few days ago.  I am not going to lie,  I don't think he's been doing it a long time but he does accept Amerigroup and Americhoice.   He seemed nice enough but it's no where near big a practice as Cenntenial or Gateway.  I am going to my first appointment next week.   I will  post about him on his page if he has one here. 

He does NOT do gastric bypass only gastric sleeve and the lap band but he DOES accept Medicaid.   There is hope for those stuck on state insurance!
