Topic: RE: WLS support groups Memphis TN area
St. Francis Hospital has three per month. The first and third Tuesday of the month at 6:30pm is the psychologist led group. The second Thursday of the month at 7pm is the nutritionist group. It's more of a presentation meeting and the psychologist meeting is more group therapy. I find the psychologist group better.

Topic: RE: Dr Wegner- Memphis?
I had my surgery with Dr. Wegner two weeks ago. I've met with both docs. I chose Dr. Wegner b/c it worked best with my timeline of when I needed to do surgery to fit with my work.

He and Dr. Weaver have different management of surgery. Their post surgery food plans are different. Dr. Wegner will put in a drain post op and you have very tiny incisions that are glued. Dr. Weaver doesn't do a drain, but her incisions are a bit bigger and are stapled.

I was sore for @ least a month.  I didn't get to feeling 100% until about 2 months out.

Hey, how long were you sore after your surgery?  I had my surgery Monday, and I'm sooooo sore.  Lots of pain on my right side and some in my back.

My insurance paid for everything except my deductible and out-of-pocket expenses.  It's through CIGNA.

My surgery went well.  I'm very, very sore! I knew I would be sore, but not this sore.   I know God was there with me, and returned me home safely today! I also stayed two nights, and I am very thankful, because today I feel confident that everything is okay on the inside. ha
