Hi Lana,

I can't do Chinese either! I dump on it every time. There are things that I can eat but it's not the things that I like. I love the crab rangoon too. I also tend to eat too much when I do buffets.

Yes, Dr. Houston did my surgery. He was awesome! I really like him. He's got a way of getting you to do what you're supposed to.

Good luck! Stay on track and you may not have those blood sugar issues. There is a group here called Back on Track Together. You might benefit from it!

Good luck to you !
Janie

Hi Janie, I did a big mistake yesterday. We was in Clarksville doing all the running to get things done that we can't do in small town usa. LOL  I decided we would go have chinense and was that ever a mistalke. On the way home, I had to take my sugar and it was 135 ! Instead of really low it was really high.  I have been really good today and I won't be going there to eat again. I can't walk away from the little things that have cream cheese and crab meat in them. BAD !
I noticed that Dr. Hugh Houston did your surgery. Where did you have it done?  I saw him when I first went many years ago to talk with the surgeon about the surgery. He was doing his resisdence at the office at Vanderbilt.  When I was a little girl, everyone around here went to Murray, Ky. to the doctors and I was shocked when he came in and told me his name. HIs , either, Father or Grand father was a doctor in Murray for many many years and a great doc. It could have been both, just can't remember. I really knew he was going to be a awesome doctor with his genes.
It took a while for me to decided to do the surgery and he had finished and I thought gone back to Ky. to do the gastric surgery.
I'm really excited right now for my only Neice, she is very over weight and in early 30's with three children. She went to the local Doctor last week and then last night she went to Gateway for a meeting on the lap band. I so pray that she will have success. She has hight blood pressure and heart disease runs in our family as well as many other issues caused by being obese. I have to get her on this site for support.
Thank for replying to me. Happy FIRST DAY OF SPRING !

Wow!  Thanks for all the great info...I will check out his website right now.  Have been surfing and looking at listings all morning.  We will be in the area April 13=15 and hope to see a lot of places and try to narrow things down.  Hopefully we can meet sometime, maybe in April or further along as we visit the area!
Thanks so much again!

Good Choice!!! I have a realtor friend who actually deals with Norris Lake real estate. He's nice and down to earth. Just like any neighborhood there are certain areas of the lake you want to avoid; you can get to Knoxville in about 30 minutes to an hour from any location on the lake. My grandfather's property is on the North side of the lake, in Speedwell, TN. Quieter and at the mouth of the Powell River which then widens into the lake. You'll find more upscale boats and lake homes near the LaFollette/Lake City Area. More options on the south side of the lake include Andersonville area and Maynardville. Andersonville has a new condo complex with great amenities. There are some great lots of land around the southern side that are cheaper and give direct access to the lake.

You will not be disappointed by what the lake offers; so much fun and adventure in the outdoors in TN!

My realtor guy is Eddie Perry ; here's his contact info.

I developed what seems like hypoglycemia but I actually attribute it to dumping syndrome. If I eat a lot of something with sugar, my blood sugar drops! I had gastric bypass and don't regret it because having the dumping syndrome keeps my honest and out of my old friend "sugar"!

Topic: RE: Nashville Surgeons
I have to agree that Dr. Hugh Houston is the doc I would go to! He did my RNY back in 2007 and he is awesome! Very straightforward and doesn't pull any punches! The did a wonderful job. He's at Centennial Center for the Treatment of Obesity!

This isn't a question for me, but for a friend.
She lives in Middle TN and is looking for a bariatric sergeon around Murfreesboro and/or Nashville area who accept AMERIGROUP through TennCare insurance. She's called her insurance directly, with no luck of them being able to acutally give her names/numbers. They have however comfirmed weight loss surgery is covered.

Any help would be greatly accepted
