"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. "
