Calling all Tennesseans

I was filling out my first blog post this morning and was wondering how many people that might be here are from Tennessee and have had their wls from Centennial Medical Center here in Nashville?  I thought it might be nice to be able to speak with some people who know the routine at Centennial.

Hi! I'm here in TN and went to Cenntenial. My surgeon is Dr Houston. He is awesome. 

I'm in Knoxville and had my surgery at a COE (center of excellence) with New Life Bariatrics at Tennova in Turkey Creek.

Hi Shawna and Colleen! So glad to know you both are here!

Shawna, do you attend the group meetings? I havent been able to locate one that is at the hospital only a couple that are further away.

Chattanoogan, here! Best of luck with surgery in Nashville! If you decide to look into Dr. Rutledge at Memorial Hospital in Chatt., let me know and I'll give you any details you want :)

Thanks Chrissy! You can never tell what will happen! :)

St. Thomas Rutherford Hospital. Dr. Wayne Westmoreland. 

Hey Mark  thanks for replying. Your Dr and Hospital are actually very close to my home in Smyrna. I noticed it hasnt been to long since you had your surgery. How are you doing?

Dr. Brandon Williams at Vanderbilt.  I just can't say enough about this clinic and staff.  Honestly, our support group meetings have people from other local surgeons not affiliated w/ Vanderbilt because they no longer get the support they needed where they went.  I do NOT know that this is the case for Centennial because we are instructed not to have any negative talk about other groups.  I just recommend you confirm that whoever you're looking into does offer lifetime support.  It's vital.  This change is not temporary.  

I love seeing other TN people...especially Nashville.  Could be fun to get together sometime and support each other in person.  :-)

Best of luck as you begin the process!!!
