Surgeon Testimonial

Wayne Westmoreland
My first impression of Middle Tennessee Bariatric Center was...Man, they are on top on their game. My first phone call to them gave me more information about what I needed to do to get approved for WLS than a previous hospital (Vanderbilt) that I had tried to work with. My whole process with MTBC took 7 months. My insurance required 6 months supervised dieting and a 10% weight lose which for me meant 30 pounds. The office staff at the siminar had a packet for each insurance provider...so from the get go...you know what they expected. They gave you a checklist and each check is another step closer to WLS. The staff followed me through each step and answered all my questions. They were also very good to me because I live 3 hours away. I can not say enough positive things about his staff.rnDr Westmoreland is great. We talked about everything that WLS would do and what it would not do and the risk. He answered all my questions and did not make me feel rushed. Dr Westmoreland puts his faith and his surgical gifts in God's hands and we prayed. We prayed several times during our meeting and we prayed along with my husband after my surgery when he came by to check on me. I am sure he prayed before but I was already knocked out. I would rate him a 10.

    Tuesday is your day! Just remember you are on the journey of a lifetime. Try to enjoy every minute. It may sound weird now, but know that you are cared for and prayed for here, and all too soon this will be but a memory and you will be an inspiration to someone else. I am waiting for you on the losers' bench!

Well this month I might have lost the same pound a couple of times but I am trying not to let that bother me. I am trying to focus on walking....10,000 steps a day which is about 5 miles a day. This is the start of week three. I fiqure weight or inches will come off soon. I am just trying to be a healthy me everyday.

I don't know what has been going on with me. I think part of it is that my life became all about the surgery and weight lose. I needed time to adapt to all of the changes both mentally and physically. I think I went into a stall and just got satisfied for the moment. I have not gained weight, I have just remained the same. As of yesterday, I started getting more active and exercising. This is my favorite time of the year and I have been outside and enjoying it. So hopefully, I will start losing again. My next goal is 20 pounds by my 1 year doctor visit....which is doable.
