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!

9 months out
posted on 8/30/08 9:39 am
Well, not much is going on. Hopefully, I am coming out of a stall. I have not lost in quite a while but I am starting to feel better and have more energy. I quess my body just had to catch up with all of the changes.
I am wearing 12's and 14's.  I would like to be in 8's and 10's by my one year out date. I tried to go to the doctor last week but there was some miscommunication on somebody's part...but they had me coming in the following week.  They would not even work me in and I was not driving back next week.  So when I go back in Nov for a meeting, I have a doctors appointment then. So I guess my thinking is... I am just living life and not focused on the weight loss, surgery etc. Now, everything should be habit.
I do need to improve on exercising. I will try to work on that this month.
