I'm hoping to get banded before the end of the year. I'm trying to figure out where I should go in Tennessee. It took me a while to figure out how to get on the forum. I'm new to this whole thing

At first my PCP said something about me seeing Dr. Woodman however he does not operate at a COE so my insurance will not cover him. So I then thought about Virgina Weaver because she is in Memphis, however I've found out that she took a leave, and the other person is against the band.
Does anybody know if she is back, or should I look into going to Nashville?????

The suggestion of taking it to support group is a good one. You can also post it on our Facebook page  I'll let the dietitians know too and they can tell the folks in preop. class.

I live in Ashland city which is right outside of Nashville...I have a lot of protein drinks and some powders left over and i have had them posted on craigslist with no luck...do y'all know of anywhere else i could post them. i have 26 ISOPURE clear protein drinks from GNC(grape, orange, pineapple/banana/orange) that I paid $5 each for... there is a 2 pound container of precision engenieered protein whey isolate powder in strawberry flavor-i paid $45 for that at GNC...there are 6 packets of nectar in fuzzy naval and strawberry kiwi-these are powder protein mixes and each pouch is 2 servings...also included is 1 unjury chicken noodle soup flavor protein powder...and last are 2 packs of EAS protein drinks-4 chocolate and 4 strawberry...i paid over $185 for all of these and i did not need them. i bought them before i had surgery  and my 1st 7 days after surgery i couldnt eat anything. i also had a hiatal hernia fixed and it caused me not to be able to swallow anything SO i was sent home from the hospital being fed through a picc line! so now i have stuff left over and i'd like to sell it all for $90, which is half what i paid for it. since i bought it over 30 days ago i cant just return it to GNC...
if anyone has any ideas of where i could post this, that would be great! i had my surgury thru centennial center for the treatment of obesity and i wonder if they have somewhere to post stuff like this...does anyone know?

Feel free to talk about whatever.I am almost 2 months out on the RNY. Wife and 2 boys, both grown.Just started on regular food this week. Still much eating just the 4 ounces per meal. It would be nice to talk to someone on this forum like you have stated.

I am brand new!  I live near Knoxille.  I am 45 yo, female, married, with 2 young sons, 9 and 13.  I just had RNY-GB surgery on 9/27.  I am still on liquids only.  I have had no problems at all other than what I call head hunger.  I hope there will be more replies!  Thanks, MAC
