Topic: RE: Question about Centennial surgeons (Nashville)?
Thanks so much for your input Robert! Wow, 1 lb/day is amazing! I really appreciate your help and encouragement :)
Topic: revision
Hello, I had RNY\gastric bypass in 2003. I lost my insurance at work a year ago and would like to see a surgeon for a revision. Does anyone know of and insurance policy that would accept me? I have been turned down due to the fact that I have a "pre-existing condition". I have an appointment with DHS to see if a qualify for Tenncare, but I think they will turn me down due to income. Any suggestions would be helpful thanks... Also anyone know of some self pay options?
Topic: RE: Question about Centennial surgeons (Nashville)?
I had a VSG on November 2. Dr. Houston was my surgeon. I can not say enough good things about Dr. Houston or the entire Centennial experience. I had my surgery on a Wednesday, was discharged on Friday, and by Sunday I had stopped all of the pain meds. The entire staff is supportive, professional, caring. The nurses on the Ward were amazing. My incisions are almost completely healed and I have already lost quite a bit of weight (I'm averaging about 1 lb a day).
I saw Dr. Olsen once, he was my Discharge doctor (Dr. Houston was out of town). He was pleasant and professional.
I will say one thing. A lot of people seemscared by Dr. Houston. He has a reputation for being brusque or condescending. Several people in the support groups I went to pre-op mentioned that. I DID NOT experience any of that. He is busy and time with him is at a premium. He was always pleasant with me, he listened (even when I did something stupid), and has given me wonderful advice both before and after surgery. I couldn't recommend him highly enough.

I had my surgery on October 26, 2011 with Dr. Olsen. He performed a laparoscopic VSG and he was absolutely wonderful!! I can't say enough good things about my experiences with him, his staff, and the staff at Centennial. I can honestly say I would do it again in a heartbeat. The only problem I had was a little post op nausea from the anesthesia. I wish you well with whichever surgeon you choose.

I used Dr. Weaver for the Lap Band. I have not had any problems. She is a great surgeon, it's the office staff that I have issues with....
