Topic: RE: OT- Best place to stay and dine in Nashville suburbs (Franklin and Brentwood)
I am drooling over Stoney River's menu, many thanks for the excellent suggestion! It is very nice to see they offer the "Oscar" topping for the steaks 
, that and a bowl of lobster bisque would hit the spot! Since my husband is an enormous fan eating a quality steak the size of his head, I don't think it would take too much arm twisting to convince him to dine there. 
Where's the best BBQ around Nash? I've never had good BBQ, yes, yes I know I am missing out. How I managed to go so long without, I have no idea. We were also thinking of checking out "Barbara's home cookin'", "Martin's BBQ", "The Bunganut Pub", "Puckett's Grocery" and "Bishops". This is just from info found online, so I don't know if I'm picking the right places.
Since hubs has Hilton points, hotel-wise it looks like a toss up between the Embassy suites or the Hilton Garden in Cool Springs. If anyone has some info on which is the nicer one to stay at, feel free to chime in
I had wanted to stay in Cool Springs, as I understand so far it's a shopping hub for the Brentwood/Franklin area with lots of places to eat. I thought it would give us a good overview of the shopping options we'd have should we move to the area.
We may also pop in to a few open houses, drive by a few schools to see where they are in the neighborhoods, and vist any street fairs or farmer's markets that may be open when we go.

Around Cool Springs/Brentwood there's Stoney River and Cozymel's. Good Mexican food is hard to find in TN so we hit Cozymel's when we're in that area.*
Check out Trip Advisor's site for hotels and more restaurants. I'm sure you'll find something as that area is very nice.
*Google both for menus.

Topic: OT- Best place to stay and dine in Nashville suburbs (Franklin and Brentwood)
Hello Tennessee!
Hubs and I are going to be visiting Nashville in November with the intent of investigating Franklin and Brentwood as possible relocation areas. It is time for us to settle down and have a family, and well, NYC is just not the place where we want to do that. We're currently torn between the Nashville suburbs and the Dallas suburbs (North Dallas).
I've never been to Nashville before, so if anyone has recommendations for great places to stay, and eat (note: I'm a DSer so any cuisine is safe) in Franklin and Brentwood it would be much appreciated. I know so little about those areas!

Topic: RE: Looking for a WLS friendly PCP around Nashville
I've been on Frova and just switched to Imatrex and I take tramadol and most of the time those two things help but about once a month I get one where they don't help in the slightest. They can lasts for days and are completely debilitating.
I've been thinking about switching for a while but have been going to him for so long it's been hard to switch but I think Friday was the last straw for me. It was day 4 and nothing had worked and since I told him I didn't want to try the NSAID noes spray, which said "can cause gastrointestinal bleeds without warning which may cause death", he just told me there was nothing he could do for me.
Thanks for everyone's suggestions...I will definately do research on them all!! Your help is very much appreciated!!

Have you tried any of the sumatriptan drugs for migraines, like Imitrex? This is not an NSAID and worked wonders on my migraines.
I see Shawnda Hollie in the 20th Avenue Building near Baptist. I had to find a new PCP when mine retired almost 3 years ago. Dr. Hollie really listens and is very supportive as well as having a very good understanding of what my special issues and needs are as a WLS patient.

You could try the Hermitage Family Practice of off Andrew Jackson Blvd. They accept all types of insurance and will also see self pay.

I previously used Dr. Michael Miller 615-321-1121 1915 1/2 church street in the baptist hospital area. He is very WLS supportive and the only problem I had was getting him to order ALL the labs I wanted according to the AMSBMS,or whatever it is,lol standards.
I am presently using Amy Cole,Cole Faaamily Practice 615-874-3422 on Lebanon R in Old hickory. I was using her for bioidentical hormones and decided I didn't need two pcp's when she could do it all and she can. She is a nurse practioner,midwife,aand is very interested in womens issues. She is more on the holistic side but does use traditional medicine as well. She takes insurance which is a plus for that type of dr as well.
Hope this helps,
Holly

Topic: Looking for a WLS friendly PCP around Nashville
Does anyone know of a good PCP around Nashville that is WLS patients friendly? I've been seeing the same Doc for 7 yrs but he keeps trying to give me NSAIDS. I've been having horrible Migraines and I went in yesterday and he gave me Toradol. It didn't help so I went back in this morning in tears and he told me there wasn't anything he could do for me without using NSAIDS and I should just go to the ER. I know I can't be the first WL patient with migraines. I'm really frusterated with him but have kept seeing him because I didn't know who else to see.
Anyone have any suggestions?
